Three books. Countless monsters. One grand adventure.
Entire villages are going missing overnight. The Republic is under attack by strange white creatures. And it’s up to guard-in-training Jake to get to the bottom of it all.
He’s always wanted adventure. Wasting away behind a desk filling out paperwork has never really been his style. But talk about being careful what you wish for. In the past day, he’s almost been decapitated by a pretty young rebel, been blasted with legendary energy by a foul-mouthed monk, and angered an ice princess who could freeze him in an instant.
Oh yeah, and they’re his new teammates.
Armed with only his sword and his wit, Jake must now navigate the treacherous lands beyond the Republic’s guarding gates. Menacing mercenaries, hollow monsters, and supernatural visitors stand between him and his goal. Will he discover the gruesome fate of the missing villagers? Or will his jaded team fall apart before he can?
Samuel Small has been writing stories since he was five years old. His earliest book, titled Mario, was a thrilling tale in which the titular character had to jump up to get a key to open a door. His stories have gotten even more riveting over the years, now consisting of more than one sentence per page.
This was a very good story! I liked learning of the background of Jake, what he was trying to learn to do to protect people, of his families background, and of the different monsters he had to battle, and learn how to battle! I was not super fond of the continual language, which seamed a bit high-schoolish, but liked the story.
