Paragon Forgotten: The Lost Gods Book 1
Cohthel should have visited his father’s grave sooner, because now it’s missing.
His mother makes excuses for the absent grave, which Cohthel accepts, but his best friend won’t. He convinces Cohthel his father must still be alive, and Cohthel runs away from school, family, and friends to find the truth. While away, Cohthel hears corrupting rumors that humans are breaking alliances to force the other eight races to worship humans as gods. He returns home to not only having found the truth about his once-thought-dead father, but that he now must join the humans’ war for godhood and erase his culture, identity, and humanity, or oppose the war and be forced to kill the only thing he’s ever a father. An ageless human lurks behind the fabric of the universe, and she gives Cohthel a third impossible stop the war. But he must find a way to live forever, first.
Paragon Forgotten is most comparable to a young adult-style Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman for the epic world-building and racially diverse realms. Paragon Forgotten floats atop modern themes of diversity, acceptance, love, and service, as well as the tearing inner conflict between right, wrong, and family.

addicting
once you get into this book, it’s really hard to put down. (You must know what happens next!) Don’t read it too fast before the second one comes out it’ll drive you crazy, lol! warning you might lose sleep and your house might get messier because you’re stuck in this book!
