Stumbling across a mysterious archway in a museum, underachieving schoolboy Nathaniel James suddenly finds himself plunged into a fantastical realm riddled with monsters, magic and warfare. Armed with a blade of legend and escorted by a group of eccentric mercenaries, Nathaniel is tasked with journeying across the perilous land of Gehenna, and plumbing the depths of the Cataclysm temples erected in the wake of a horrific necromantic war. Suddenly given the chance to tread a path he'd never dared believe possible, Nathaniel struggles to come to terms with the fateful situation he has found himself in, and unravel the truth behind his sudden arrival and the strange amulet he inherited as a child. But battling goblins, spirits, werewolves, pirates, undead and a variety of other nefarious creatures (he had once been certain did not exist) takes its toll, and Nathaniel soon learns that the price of glory may often be steeper than its prize. Part one of an upcoming trilogy - contains strong fantasy violence and adult themes. Please leave feedback in support of the author.
