The Untethered

Victor Balogun was supposed to die. Instead, he finds himself in a world where magic is real, monsters roam the wilderness, and power means everything. Branded by an encounter with the Abyss—a realm spoken of only in fear—he quickly finds himself under the scrutiny of nobles, scholars, and warriors who can't decide whether he's an opportunity or a disaster waiting to happen. With no home to return to and a mysterious quest pulling him toward the heart of the kingdom, Victor has little choice but to move forward. Joining the Wardens of Rottsdivir, he throws himself into a life of dangerous missions, relentless training, and hard-won friendships. But the deeper he becomes entangled in this world, the more he realizes that his arrival was no accident. Ancient powers are watching. Old secrets are beginning to stir. And something lurking beyond reality has taken a personal interest in him. To survive, Victor will have to grow stronger, uncover the truth behind his strange abilities, and decide what kind of person he wants to become. Because for the first time in his life, the future is his to choose.
