A failed author is pulled into his own terrible fantasy novel—where the villain knows the plot better than he does! Read The Blademaster's Call, the first book in the hilarious new epic fantasy series, The Chronicle of Jack Green.
What if the world you wrote became real—and you were trapped inside it?
Jack Green never expected his dreadful fantasy novel to come true. But when a knock on his apartment door pulls him into Denland—a realm of Blademasters, assassins, and ancient prophecy—he discovers his story isn’t fiction. It’s fate.
Now, Jack must join forces with warriors bound by Steel and Song to stop Malig Mortidal, a Dragon Wizard whose dark magic threatens not one world, but two. From haunted forests to burning deserts, from deadly arenas to forgotten ruins, Jack faces monsters, warlocks, and a dragon older than time itself.
But survival isn’t enough. The prophecy says an Outsider will “make his mark.” Jack just hopes it doesn’t mean his gravestone.
Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, and Terry Pratchett.
If you love epic quests, witty narrators, and high-stakes battles against impossible odds, this book will keep you turning pages late into the night.
