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.

He ignored the heavy pounding of his heart, all he could think of was that Elora had been taken. If she was going to die, it wasn't going to be by some monster. It would be by his hand, nothing else.

Brushing past glowing ferns and thick clusters of luminescent stalks, he was forced to a sudden halt. Deremiah's eyes widened as he took one step backwards, staring at the sight above.

Elora was suspended in the air, high above him with the NeonSquid's translucent tentacle wrapped tightly around her waist, dangling her body like a marionette as she groaned angrily.
