The Untoward

In "The Untoward," the second novel of the Queen Beyond epic fantasy series, Nathelion, once a simple farmhand, grapples with the harsh truths of magic and his own dubious status as the "Chosen." As he navigates a perilous world filled with undead, mythical beasts, and the relentless pursuit of a bandit king, he is burdened by guilt and the weight of stolen prophecy. With a magical sword in hand and newfound friends relying on him, Nathelion must outsmart his fate while the world teeters on the brink of chaos. This satirical tale by Simon Markusson blends humor with an engaging storyline of unlikely heroism.
