International Amazon bestselling and award-winning author Terry Ironwood releases the next installment of The Great Forget Fantasy Series.

The Journey Continues…

A call has gone out to all the untrained magic wielders across the lands to make haste to the Wizard’s Guild, the distinguished school of magic, intent on creating an army of light against the encroaching darkness. Chip, an orphan with humble beginnings, is struck by the majesty of the institution and the surrounding enchanted Ancient Woods.

Here, he experiences epic tests and duels, forges new alliances, and puts on a red cloak…

Despite the magic wards and safety of the great walls, an insidious evil lurks in the shadows. A Death Watcher makes an astounding proclamation.

Chip races to save the one he loves, going beyond human limits to the depths of his soul. He is willing to sacrifice everything, but it may not be enough.

Join him as the orphan confronts the darkest of forces in an epic struggle that leads him to a place no human has ever been.

The outcome will determine the fate of the world.

About the author

Terry Ironwood

I read The Lord of the Rings as a child.
The sense of wonder and escape was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I developed a voracious appetite for fantasy and owe much to the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist, Tad Williams, J.K. Rowling, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, and David Eddings, among others.
Fantasy offers more than simple entertainment and escapism. It provides new perspectives, explores themes such as friendship, love, and honour, evokes a sense of wonder, and allows us to experience adventures we can only dream about. It also teaches valuable truths we can apply in our own lives. More importantly, it allows us to imagine. As Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
I wanted to write this series for a long time. It returns to the roots of the classic epic fantasy I grew up with. I have been fortunate to experience both the lowest lows and the highest successes in life. The former has proven to be the better teacher. I draw from a rich well and have learned that beautiful people exist at both ends. Remember, we are all in this together.
The weapons master once said, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I took his advice and put pen to paper. In essence, I broke through my wall. I hope these books offer all the benefits mentioned above, and more. I never imagined that writing fantasy would be more rewarding than reading it. The inspiration and creativity I experienced exceeded anything I could have dreamed of, made possible by learning how to imagine.
I hope this story connects with you and makes a difference in your life because, after all, I wrote it for you.

Sincerely,
Terry Ironwood

Getting ridiculous

Wow, I thought the last book was going a little far on the "not smart" pills. The MC is only powerful when all hope is lost and dues ex is required. In order to it have to many spoiler I will try and use non-story related descriptions.

If you are being chased by a pack of hungry wolves, would you A, run into cornfield and try and hide or B, stay in the open so you could see them coming so as to defend yourself.

If the world ending bad guy is coming in less than a month, would you your remaining time to A, set up a tournament to fight each other (not the enemy) and see who is best even if some of the your best fighter may be hurt or killed, or B gather everyone, begin training and planning for the attack?

Well, our author chose A in both cases.

Not happy. Author did it again. book 5 is not the end of the series. Getting a bit tired of reading these books that are never finished. Just drops you off with a huge cliffhanger. Disgusted. Plus the whole series just seemed to grow more absurd. Started out good, but got more absurd along the way...and this book was by far way out there. Don't waste your time as there is no book 6.

Good Read

I’m liking the general story, but having a hard time rapping my head around the petty human power plays. I can kinda see it, but two full cities are exterminated and the guys in power are still playing around. I guess the Author is trying to make me throw my device at a wall in frustration. IDK
