The Bufflock

The Bufflock of Valdris is a character driven fantasy series blending humor, heart, and high stakes magic.

When first year warlock Chris Locke accidentally enrolls in the wrong class, he discovers a strength the Academy has never seen—and a destiny he never asked for. Guided by Skarreth, an ancient sentient blade, and joined by two formidable horned companions, Chris becomes an unlikely focal point in the rising conflict between the mortal realm and the awakening forces of the Supreme Ashen.

As the Nameless begin coordinated incursions across Valdris, Chris and his growing team must navigate prophecy, politics, and the pressures of arcane education while uncovering the truth behind the Ashen Below.

Equal parts epic fantasy and heartfelt adventure, the series follows a hero who learns that destiny isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, standing your ground, and choosing your people.
