A PROMISE TO HONOUR THE DEAD BECOMES A BATTLE FOR THE LIVING.
When young warrior Arnald Oberlin and elven sheriff Kysha Naberyn arrive in Wyvernmont to lay their commander to rest, whispers of a grim discovery stir the town. Two boys, slain under mysterious circumstances. An expedition into the wilds. An ancient ruin steeped in silence and shadow.
What they uncover there will awaken a hunger long buried—the Upyr, a blood-thirsty scourge capable of turning friend into foe and the innocent into monsters. As the siege of Wyvernmont begins, Arnald and Kysha must unite trolls, fae, and townsfolk in a desperate stand. But even if they survive the night, the true heart of the darkness still waits in the depths.
To destroy it, they will have to return to where it all began… and face the choice between safety and sacrifice, light and oblivion.
“What first struck me in Robert E Krieg’s work is the gorgeous writing; it is lyrical, and the descriptions are terrific. From the very first chapter, I was immersed in the world the author evoked with words, and the captivating imagery kept me engaged. I followed compelling characters through trees that gather and hug each other closely. This is the kind of stylistic language you encounter in Pit Guard: Silver and Shadow, as the engaging dialogues fuel the conflict and move the plot forward. The setting's details capture feelings, sounds, and sights, teasing all the senses. The narrative is filled with action, the characters are well written, and the conflict grows from page to page. This author combines style, exceptional prose, and superb storytelling to entertain fans of epic fantasy. This book is deftly plotted and features a massive conflict in a well-imagined and stunningly developed world.”

Robert E Kreig is an Australian author of epic fantasy and suspense-driven fiction, writing stories of survival, duty, fear, and consequence.
Robert E Kreig was born in Newcastle, Australia, and grew up in its outer suburbs, where a love of storytelling took root early. From a young age, he was drawn to books that combined action, adventure, and an undercurrent of fear — stories that asked what people are capable of when tested. As a reader, Robert was shaped by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Stephen King, Orson Scott Card, Ray Bradbury, and Frank Herbert. As his tastes broadened, he found further inspiration in the works of George R. R. Martin, Matthew Reilly, Nathan M. Farrugia, Dan Brown, James Patterson, Michael Connelly, and Lee Child. Across genres, he gravitated toward stories driven by momentum, moral tension, and consequence. Cinema played an equally formative role. Films like Star Wars, King Kong, Jaws, and Jason and the Argonauts helped fuel a fascination with mythic adventure, looming danger, and the quiet moments before everything goes wrong. Those influences eventually coalesced into The Woodmyst Chronicles, a ten-book epic fantasy series shaped by long-form storytelling, evolving characters, and a world where every choice carries weight. In addition to his fantasy work, Robert has written several standalone novels, including Long Valley, The Calm Voice, and Pit Guard: The Tanner’s Boy. Across both series and standalone stories, his fiction explores survival, duty, fear, and the human cost of violence — whether the threat comes from monsters, institutions, or the mind itself. Robert currently lives in Canberra, Australia, where he continues to write with the aim of one day becoming a full-time author.
Orphaned after the massacre of his entire village, a boy chances upon a seasoned soldier. A Pit Guard of Dendadia.
Taken under the wing of the soldier, the boy begins his training and quickly gathers the skills to fight for others.
