Forteller

Being the author of the breakout novel, Gates of The Primordials, Jarren Fletcher did not care about the constant critiques claiming he had a habit of treating extra characters as mere plot devices, creating and then dumping them once they’d served their purpose.

To Jarren, it didn’t matter. Extras were just that—extras. All that mattered was the main character.

But Jarren never expected to wake up in his own story, reincarnated as one of the meaningless, disposable extra characters, Deremiah Morcant—a coward who took his own life to escape the perilous challenges of the Gate Trials.

Now, Jarren has to face those deadly challenges himself in the body of a weak, insignificant extra. He must find a way to survive in the rules of the dangerous world he had created, whilst also trying to save it. 

But time is running out. The next Wave is coming, and so are the paragons.

Deremiah reached down and closed his hand around the hilt of his sword. The metal was quite cool against his palm even though he had been wielding it just a few seconds ago.

His gaze shifted toward the mountain in the distance. He could see the peak from where he stood and it wasn't a very high mountain. The rocky face was covered with glowing plants and mushrooms clinging on its shaft from the base to the tip like a mosaic.

Back when it was darker, their light had been vivid and brilliant, but now they were subdued under the growing daylight.
