    About this ebook

    Fractured follows the story of Renton Riley, an eighteen year old boy who was summoned to a world of magic users. Set one year after his arrival, Renton may have found a way back home, but he's too preoccupied dealing with the repercussions of attaining that information.

    Haunted by his past and in hiding from both the criminal organization that used to employ him and an influential group of mages, he tries to blend in at school and keep his head down despite the fact that he seems to be the only one who can't use magic, until he meets Melody. All too quickly, Renton is thrown back into the life he was trying to escape and learns that the stakes have never been higher.

    Fractured is technically The Gods' Executioner Series prequel. It is not meant to be read before the end of book five, but it can be. Prior knowledge of the series is not required to understand the main plot, but this book will spoil the end of The Gods' Executioner Series.

    *Due to graphic depictions of violence, and some sexual content, this book is not meant for those under the age of 15*
