On a warm night in Luskaine, an unsuspecting orphan was given a choice: a short life or a long death. Jacob chose to die. Adopted by a mysterious and dangerous woman, he endures gruelling training until the day tragedy strikes and his life is left in ruins. Saddled with a massive debt, Jacob joins a group of seasoned adventurers to achieve the impossible task of lifting a curse at the heart of the land. Little does he know that this quest will place him and his party at the center of a century-long conflict between two rival nations and a plot to destabilize the world. Unfortunately, Jacob doesn't know if the world is worth saving. What to Expect:A Brandon Sanderson novel meets James Bond and Game of Thrones. - High Fantasy setting - A plotline full of mystery, suspense, foreshadowing, and twists- A character driven story that balances plot, action and relationships - Unique magic systems strongly tied to the worldbuilding, lore and themes Release Schedule: My goal is to release new chapters in the morning (~11:00AM Mountain Time) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Some weeks, I may release more chapters depending on how I break up what I wrote that week (weekly target: 7,000 words). To me, finding the natural breaks in the story is more important than a consistent chapter length. Trust the process. Note: I'm one month ahead on Patreon!
