Jas expected to hear a tale of glory and heroism. He hadn’t planned on living it.Drenwell is in trouble. The idyllic nation teeters on the brink of disaster as one trouble after another lines up before it. Crops fail. Animals flee. Earthquakes rattle the land. In the midst of it all is the mountain, rising tall over the plains and forests. Legends passed down over the years place it as the center of the kingdom’s woes, host to an ancient, looming threat.Tucked away in the countryside, Jas isn’t worried. Drenwell has a savior waiting, a man chosen by their god to defeat this evil. He knows it better than anyone, since this Chosen is his childhood friend, Darren. Jas knows that Darren will be the one to end the threat and keep them safe.But their Chosen is clever, armed with his god-given gifts and talents, and he’s no fool. He can see the truth of the mission laid in front of him, its dangers and risks. The expectations placed on him are strong, but the will to live is stronger still.When faced with his ‘heroic’ fate, he chooses an option no one expected - least of all Jas. With no way left to him but forward, Jas finds himself trapped into playing hero in Darren’s place.

    1stttt review!!!!!! Literally never wrote one before i think? beginning is better then most stories on here and it's only 4 chapters in . Here's to hoping it's a diamond in the rough as it continues along . My theory based on the 4 chapters is that the mc will only get destructive green flames powers that seem unholy and fight the real villain in the story. The evil smiley

    I found this story yesterday and hooked by a premise - an interesting twist to a 'farmboy becomes chosen' trope - immediately devoured everything during a single evening.
    A pacing of the story is really good, there is not a single moment to get bored during Jas' travel.
    The characters are believable and competent. Even if some of the side characters might be a little stereotypical (for example a grumpy guard captain or I-am-the-most-important-guy ), overall, their portrayal remains one of the strongest points of the book. It was simply impossible to remain indifferent to Jas' struggles and to not feel hate towards the main villain (and somehow even relate to him, at least in the very beginning).
    Also, with 13 chapters released so far (each over 4k words) I believe the story is almost concluded.
    That is, for a book one. There are three following tomes available to buy and I believe I will have something to read on my kindle for a while ;)
