Follow me into a world of wonder.
I'm an author of epic fantasies, unique magic systems, and vast worlds to explore. And I'd like to share a free short story with you taking place in the world of Azure.
The Greenthumb
Hommus, a gentle Greenthumb, won’t stand to have murderers lurking about his peaceful colony. The novelty of the seasonal sciences brings change to their culture and a shift in power along with it. One race threatens dominance over all others. He'll soon discover what power is, and the cost that comes with it.
Temper is a controllable trait, but tangible consequences no longer have any effect on the inhabitants of this world. Man puts itself above insignificance.
Books by Jonathan
Blood of Azure: Book 1
Season of Sacrifice
Courage is for the bold. It is not for Stone McLarin. He’s been in hiding for four seasons after being orphaned by the Taoiseach. He doesn’t care for the heroic antics of avenging his parent’s death or securing his freedom. He only desires one thing—to protect his sister’s life.
When the Taoiseach manipulates his way into Jaymes’s life and steals her away, Stone has no choice but to follow. He must venture into the heart of the tyrant’s domain and figure out how to penetrate the impenetrable. And if he succeeds there, he will have to slay the most powerful man in Azure.
In a world ruled by decay, what chance does life stand?
Blood of Azure: Book 2
Season of Suffering
A villain in his own mind, Stone McLarin is labeled the hero for murdering a man.
Not only is Stone weighted down as a hero, but he’s idolized by the dominant religion, and he’s the sole protector of the knowledge of the ages. The pressure of the entire realm is on his shoulders.
Carib Reign, a shapeshifter building an army of immortals, plans to purge the Crimson Capital to find this hidden knowledge. His motive, to give the people of Azure the freedom they deserve.
With many adventures along the way, Stone will lead the charge to defend the Crimson Capital against the Immortal Army. Should he fail, anarchy is inevitable. Death for all Azure, a possibility.
Where there is life, death anticipates. But what if death is abandoned? Life will rebel.
May the spring rains nourish your frame, the summer sun enliven your mind, the autumn foliage serenade your heart, and the winter frost attune your soul.
