A Quiet Hearth in Westeros

Keep the hearth burning. Raymun was twenty-nine, tired, and stuck in a loop of work, dinner, and sleep. Then he woke up screaming in the body of a newborn, in a roadside inn near Duskendale, just after Robert’s Rebellion. He isn’t a lord, a prince, or a hidden dragon heir. He’s the son of two hardworking innkeepers at the Briar Hearth, a small place with a crooked old fireplace, a leaky roof, and more debt than anyone likes to admit. While he grows up, he keeps a secret: he remembers a story about this world, and he knows the wars and the winter that are coming. Memory isn’t prophecy, though, and knowing the future doesn’t pay the bills. When his little sister falls gravely ill and the family sinks into debt, Raymun learns that survival starts with small things like grain, ledgers, honest work, and people who trust each other. Then a quiet System awakens inside his mind. It can measure and record, but it can’t hand him a kingdom. Step by step, Raymun grows from innkeeper’s son to merchant, from merchant to organizer, and from organizer to something the realm can’t ignore. He has a rival in a sharp-witted merchant’s daughter and friends who are more than tools. He also has enemies in the shadows, and a war that tests everything he has built. Beyond it, an older darkness is gathering. Nothing comes free, and nothing is simple. A Quiet Hearth in Westeros is a slow-burn story of family, commerce, and power. It asks what a peaceful ordinary tomorrow is worth, and what people will do to protect it. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: A Quiet Hearth in Westeros — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
