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.

The Author Reincarnated As An Extra

The water rippled softly as their boats drifted down the vast, mist-covered river. Elora and Deremiah, still locked in their stance, blades pressed against each other's throats, turned their attention toward the loud, uninvited voice.

"Whoo. Oh my, why don't you two kiss already?"

A girl stood at the edge of another boat, waving her arms wildly as if trying to flag down a carriage.

She had an exaggerated way of talking, her words dragging with a lazy vocal fry. Her voice was loud — too loud — especially in the eerie silence of the river.

"Like, I totally saw that moment. So much tension. Are y'all enemies? Lovers? Rivals? I'd prefer enemies! I looooooovvvvveee a good enemies to lovers story, my uncle says he met his wife that way! But I gotta say, if this were a book, I'd be totally shipping it. Oh, wait — are you guys even listening to me? Hello?"
