The First Pathfinder: 1

Where the two oldest roads of the valley cross-one called Faith, the other Fate-there's a village that survives on routine, warmth, and the quiet work of people who keep showing up.The Crossroads turns like a wheel: grain hauled up to the mill, flour carried down, candles dipped and set to cool, loaves rising in the baker's heat. And every morning, a small hooded baker named Crumb walks with a lantern that doesn't flare or falter-it simply burns, steady as dawn.But even in a place built on habit, the air can change.When a weary traveler named Ash arrives with road-dust on his boots and a flame that won't behave the way a flame should, the Crossroads begins to see itself differently. With Liora the Candlekeeper, Osric the miller, and Kindle-a bold little sparrow who always seems to appear at the turn-Crumb finds himself at the center of a shift that starts small... and refuses to stay small.The First Pathfinder is a cozy, mythic fantasy about ordinary people choosing a "third way" between easy extremes-learning what it costs, and what it saves, to walk forward together.Book One of Pathfinder's Crumb: The Crossroads Era.
