Introduction: An unsuspecting orphan was given a choice: a short life or a long death. Jacob chose death.Jacob was happy living on the streets until hunters targeted him and his friends. He is saved by a woman named Sin and begins a journey to master her unique style of martial arts, magic and spycraft. Under her tutelage, he excels until a mysterious fire destroys his new home, leaving him the main suspect for the crime. To maintain his freedom, Jacob joins a group of veteran adventurers to lift a curse poisoning the land. Unfortunately, this quest puts them in the middle of a century-long conflict between their homeland and their homeland's greatest enemy. When Jacob uncovers a conspiracy that threatens both nations, he must face off against his former master, end the century-long war and use every trick he has ever learned to stay one step ahead of his enemies.What to Expect:Brandon Sanderson meets James Bond.- High Fantasy setting - Slow progression tied to character development- A plotline full of mystery, suspense, foreshadowing, and twists- A character driven story that balances plot, action, and relationships- Unique magic systems deeply tied to the worldbuilding, and themesRelease Schedule:My goal is to release new chapters in the morning (~11:00AM Mountain Time) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Some weeks, I may release more chapters depending on how I break up what I wrote that week (weekly target: 7,000 words). To me, finding the natural breaks in the story is more important than a consistent chapter length. Trust the process. Note: I'm one month ahead on Patreon!...
