Exile, debt, and a path toward redemption

Vireo Reinhold begins as a royal debt collector who takes pride in extracting dues to support his monarch’s ongoing war. An ancient spellbook introduces forgotten magic into his already precarious world, while an affair and a forced act lead to his exile. Cut off from his former power and separated from the tome, Vireo must rely on his ability to help people he once exploited. The setup brings together courtly privilege, wartime extraction, dark fantasy, and the possibility of moral change. The first book in the Tales of Levanthria fantasy-retelling series, it frames its central conflict around whether a fallen agent can become a champion for those he once coerced.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult fantasy readers interested in dark fantasy and fantasy retellings
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on a self-serving figure’s potential redemption
  • Those interested in magic, royal power, and the effects of wartime debt collection

Book overview

An aggressive debt collector banished from the kingdom. Now his life depends on his ability to help the less fortunate...

Vireo Reinhold relishes collecting his monarch's proper dues. Working hard to prolong and fund the king's never-ending war, the self-centered official revels in the perks of luxury that come with his unorthodox role. But his world upends when he unearths an ancient spellbook that promises to unlock a shadowy, forgotten magic.

Embroiled in a secret affair with a fellow noble's wife, Vireo is mortified when he's forced to commit an unthinkable act. Driven into exile, no longer able to coerce the vulnerable, and with the powerful tome in his enemy's hands, the fallen agent's only shot at survival hangs on his skills at saving others.

Can Vireo redeem himself as the people's champion before they all fall to a sinister fate?

A Forest of Vanity and Valour is the dark first book in the Tales of Levanthria fantasy-retelling series. If you like fast-paced action, evil-to-good transformations, and classic stories with a twist, then you'll love A.P Beswick's ominous tale.
