Aurius
Aurius needs a hero. What it gets is Jacob Marshall.
Jacob is an unpopular, out-of-shape high school student who's never handled anything more dangerous than the senior football team. When he enters Aurius, however, he's ecstatic, because he knows this world intimately, and an escape from reality is all he ever wanted.
Yet, he soon discovers that this world is far more real than anything he left behind. Fighting for his life becomes the least of his concerns as he struggles with being a foreigner in a strange land. Knowing what will happen only makes him the target of suspicion, and trying to prevent tragedies only he knows are coming is a heavy burden to bear.
But none of it compares to the most important lesson he must that being a hero means more than just learning how to do battle with a sword. Jacob's greatest challenge may be facing himself.

About the author
Catherine Fitzsimmons
9 books16 followersI was born in New Hampshire and now live outside Toronto by way of Germany, Belgium, Seattle, and Austin. After working for a number of evil empires, I decided to forgo things like a salary and regular human interaction to start publishing company Brain Lag, which has now published over fifty titles by twenty different authors from across North America and Great Britain. I try to find time for reading, writing, art, gaming, baking, playing guitar and piano, photography, and more at home with my husband, daughter, and two crazy tabbies.
I don’t use Goodreads much, it’s merely a convenient method of keeping track of the books I read. Feel free to go to the About section on my website if you want to contact me.
I don’t usually write detailed reviews because I don’t have to. But I’m happy to get into more detail if you’re interested or would like to discuss anything. I also tend not to mark when I’m reading a book because I don’t want to mark books as DNF.
My rating guide:
⭐️: I don’t use this rating, as any book I might rate 1 star I DNF

⭐️⭐️⭐️: It had promise and I enjoyed reading it, even if it was flawed, OR it was pure fluff and I enjoyed it as such
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I thoroughly enjoyed this book
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: World-shattering
