Arcane Pathfinder Book 4: Exploration

By: Mashton XX, Mashton XY

Narrated by: Erin Neal

For Samantha Alecto Moura (Sam)—Soul Shifter, Arcane Pathfinder, and occasional walking disaster—peaceful exploration was never in the cards.

What begins as a simple escort mission for a royal ally, Cara Alessia, hurtles Sam and her eccentric crew deep into uncharted space, where alien megastructures, strange factions, and dangerous curiosities lurk behind every glowing gate. From negotiating with tentacled truth-finders to dodging the deadly egos of imperial politics, Sam must balance diplomacy with her knack for blowing things up… preferably not in the same conversation.

But the deeper they travel, the more tangled the web becomes. Allies hide secrets. Enemies smile too easily. And the path ahead may lead to treasures beyond imagining—or a trap sprung on a galactic scale.

With her 'Alpha Class Mothership' Ica, Bloodmorph companion Lupie, Void Slime sibling Nul, and her new Necromancer crew member Xela at her side, Sam’s ready to explore the verse…but is she ready for what she will encounter?

Brimming with discovery, danger, and LitRPG progression, Exploration takes the Arcane Pathfinder saga to space, its most daring frontier yet—where every world has a secret, and some of them don’t want to be found.

Space adventures!

I am so happy this series is continuing. Thank you for all your hard work! I can't wait for the next installment.

Ruthless, and I love it!

Sam is a loveable character that h a s a ruthless side when dealing with enemies that challenge her or her family/ friends. Truly a well made story, and great world building. Well... I guess they are off world now, but still engaging.

the fun continues

more of the same in a good way if you liked the previous books you like this one too.

A stellar addition to a great series

Glad we got book 3 and 4 so close was great to hear especially since it was an AI voice and continued to deliver the adventures of SAM and her merry crew
