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.

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.

Right at the instant she moved, the magical bullseye splintered into multiple shards and the Spine Pillar exploded into the tension driven air, shattered by the force of the strike.
