Perfect for you if...

You love epic fantasy with a clear hero's journey and are happy to follow one character's coming-of-age from start to finish.
You enjoyed Stackpole's Star Wars novels and want to see what he does with his own high-stakes fantasy world.
You're after immersive worldbuilding with real consequences—the kind where crossing the wrong threshold changes everything.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven literary fantasy over plot-driven adventure with higher stakes and simpler emotional cores.
You need your fantasy grounded in political intrigue or morally grey characters rather than a more straightforward good-versus-evil setup.
You're looking for something short or standalone; this is Book 1 of a series and commits you to the long game.

About this book

An epic fantasy novel set in the Realms of Chaos series. Locke, an apprentice swordsman, travels to the City of the Sorcerers to view the Ward Walls that contain the Realms of Chaos. He aspires to become a Chaos Rider and seeks his destiny beyond the Wall, hoping to find his lost father in the Wildness, where time and change operate without control. Beyond the Wall lies a growing darkness that threatens more than individual survival. Locke must confront an evil of unknown nature that will challenge both his abilities as a young hero and the survival of humanity itself.
