Heroes may be forged in fire… but legends are born in blood.

Legends speak of a shadow realm that echoes our own, called the Void, where gods and demons roam the very paths we mortals tread, hidden from our sight and touch, judging us at our worst moments, laughing at our woes.

The Void is inaccessible to all still living save those blessed, or perhaps cursed, with the means to cross between realms. The lands of the gods are not to be trespassed lightly, but the rewards…

Deep in the heart of Yahrska, past the beautiful Brokar Valley, lies Barren Hollows: a small and peaceful village where all Jonas Creed wanted was to leave his past behind and become the loving husband and father he swore he always would be.

But fate leaves none unscathed. Someone is looking for the Voidwalker, and will stop at nothing to get what they want.



The Call of Jonas Creed

Ryn Johnstone

The story was okay. Some wording that felt out of place and almost as if the words were there to make it sound of higher writing rather than just telling the story. Overall, the story was okay with an interesting concept to it.

The Call of Jonas Creed is a novella set in a fantastical world, where only a select few are able to cross between realms of the mortals and those of the gods and demons. Our male main character is one of those few, called Voidwalker, but chose to leave his past behind to instead become a doting husband and father. 

His peaceful existence isn't of lasting nature, as a unknown force is looking for him and takes what is most precious to lure him out. Jonas sets out on a journey to find what was taken and avenge what was lost. 

The pace of this novella is set high so the reader has to adjust to the world quite quickly, but as the world building is done well, it reads a little bit like really good, a little bit oldschool (but in the best possible interpretation of the word) fantasy novel. The ending felt a teeny tiny bit rushed to me but it does leave me very curious to what the story of Jonas Creed has in store for the reader. 

All in all, a very quick read that draws you in and gets you hooked to read more of this series. I would recommend to anyone who misses the feeling of the classic fantasy read and enjoys the tales of revenge sought out.
