Heroes Journey

Description
The path to becoming a hero is different for everyone.
Leigh and Lance have both turned eighteen in the village of Starfell, where it’s tradition for new adults to set out to become heroes. The village celebrates as a portal waits for the young men—and their friends—to transport them somewhere in the world. A world of magic and mystery awaits them, as they’ve never left their village and have only heard stories of the outside world.
The time limit is a year, and whether they return victorious or not is entirely up to them. They must learn to rely on their friends around them, as the world is not so kind.
The soon-to-be heroes are dropped into a forest with an encroaching shadow that they must defeat to carry on with their journey. The shadow has other plans, however. It separates Leigh and Lance—one choosing to follow the shadows and one to fight them.
Are they strong enough to become heroes on their own, or will the world outside prove to be too much for them?

- geewhizRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Heroes Journey hooks you into a world of adventure. You feel like another one of the heroes alongside Leigh, Lance, Sylqen, Anahel and Gagzar, dropped into an unknown place--but it's a soft landing, and I can't think of anyone better than Izzy King to be our guide here.
Izzy's always had a knack for unforgettable characters and they've outdone themselves this time. I can't wait to see how these five heroes do (or don't!) work together in their strange and dangerous world, how they each use their new gifts, how they grow on their journey.
Their prose is swift and dynamic, carrying you along easily and comfortably on this adventure (much more easily and comfortably than our heroes, I'm sure!).
If you love adventure stories and well-painted characters (I'm dying to see fanart of Gagzar already, and a certain monster from chapter one) then you absolutely need to check out Heroes Journey.
Bring an obsidian sword and unbreakable arrows!
