Description

A DARK FAIRY TALE WHERE DEATH LURKS BEHIND EVERY CHOICE...

Once upon a time, fairy tales had happy endings. This is not one of them.

Your father, King Dorian, lies on his deathbed, and only one of his twin heirs can claim the throne. To prove your worth, you must journey into the deadly Wild Woods, defeat five monstrous villains, and return alive. Succeed, and you'll be crowned ruler of Vallorum. Fail, and your story ends in blood and ruin.

Your brother, Prince Keaton, has trained his entire life for this moment—strong, ruthless, and willing to do anything to seize power. You, however, have spent your days lost in books. To even the odds, you've been gifted a bloodthirsty talking sword and a book of arcane secrets. But tools alone won't save you. You must outthink, outfight, and outlast the nightmares that await.

⚔️ Dark magic. Twisted creatures. Betrayal at every turn.
⚔️ Thirty ways to die.
⚔️ Only one path to survival.

Can you claim the throne, or will your tale end in tragedy?

A Must-Read for Fans of Dark Fantasy and Interactive Fiction!
If you loved
Goosebumps®, Choose Your Own Adventure®, or grim fairy tales, you'll be hooked by this ruthless, pulse-pounding quest. With multiple gruesome endings and only one true path to victory, your choices will decide your fate.

⚡ The crown is at stake. The Wild Woods await. Will you survive the tale?

My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create. There are 21 titles in my interactive Try Not to Die series and 29 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms.

I live in sunny California with my wife, two kids, five cats, and one demon. Derek the Demon pops in whenever he’s bored and makes special appearances on my social media. You can also get three free ebooks by signing up to my newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of unhappy endings. Derek and I would love to have you join us!
