About the author

S Mays grew up in a small rural town in Virginia. He spent much of his childhood building elaborate stories in his head, reading whatever books were hidden around the house, or exploring the local woods. His grandma possessed a bookshelf containing a set of hopelessly outdated encyclopedias, which he read front to back numerous times. He marveled at the prediction man would eventually land on the moon (1.5 decades after the event had already occurred). He'd make frequent trips into his grandma's armoire, attempting to find the entrance to Narnia, but he'd always just end up making his grandma angry instead of discovering a dimensional portal.

These days, when he is not working for The Man, he spends time at home with his wife and their menagerie of pets, which range from several fish to cats, dogs, and an army of ferrets. His interests include reading (fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, horror, and comic books - naturally), playing video games (RPG, strategy), watching television (anything related to superheroes, Rick and Morty, MST3K, GoT, Comedy Bang Bang - basically anything absurd or not based in reality. Reality is booooring). He has been known to weight train from time to time.

[Charles Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Knowledge Is Power!

There are many adages concerning "Knowledge:"

Know yourself.
Know your enemy.
Know when to walk away; know when to run. (Kenny Rogers)
Information is not knowledge. (Albert Einstein)

There are at least a thousand others, but these four are particularly important to Jagen Therion in this volume of his adventures as a Dungeon Master; because Jagen has made the error of ignoring the lessons of all these adages and suffers greatly for it

This novel, and the series of which it is a part, will likely appeal to fans of the Fantasy, LitRPG, and Dungeon Core genres; as well as those who enjoy playing RPGs.

[Jerry · Rating 1 out of 5]

I had to force myself to finish the last book, as chapter 19+ triggered some rage issues and was quite possibly the hardest thing for me to force myself to read... I sincerely hoped that I would be greeted with something worth reading. And then Leathe forgot everything and the Jag's brother took the throne from him? Nope. I am done. I didn't come here to regress in the story and the author just keeps dragging everybody through the grinder.
