September 28–29, 2024: Clayshire Castle Medieval Faire

This is Tales of Ambergrove’s first year here! The Medieval Faire at Clayshire Castle focuses on the Wars of the Roses with many themed events over the weekend. They hold very true to the medieval themes, and stepping onto the grounds feels like stepping back in time. There will be many vendors and shows, an archery competition, and a working blacksmith! If all goes to plan, we will be set up next to the blacksmith. Our full-size booth will include the Dragonwolf trilogy and companion book, the first two Hammer and Flame books (Ember in the Forge and Ember on the Anvil), companion board game, cover art prints, audiobooks, keychains, necklaces, coasters, and medallions on one side. On the other side, we will have an additional table where players can complete the Paeor’s Game campaign of the Dawn of the Dragonwolf D&D session series. For more about the event, visit the Clayshire Castle website here.

$5 discount coupon on purchases if you dress up as a character from the books!
