Reckless Talents

After years of scraping by, Erik is finally ready for his long-anticipated Talent Awakening ceremony. It’s his chance to wield extraordinary power and honor his parents’ memory by joining the kingdom’s elite force. Everything he has worked for hinges on this moment. But when faced with a choice during the ceremony, he unknowingly makes a decision that will force him to undertake a much harder path. Thrust into deadly mystical landscapes and faced with terrifying creatures and powerful foes, he finds himself in a desperate struggle for survival—one that will test not only his strength but his very will to live. With each step, his fate grows more uncertain, and the path forward will lead him to answers he may have never wanted to uncover—both relating to his past and future. Release Schedule 3 Chapters released per week: Mon-Wed-Fri A bonus chapter for each week of being on the main Rising Stars' main list and another for being in the top 7. There will also be a bonus chapter for every 100 patrons of the Talent Holder tier on Patreon. Author’s note Reckless Talents is a dark progression fantasy series and will be a very long one. It is set in a medieval world and draws very loose inspiration from Norse mythology. The story is told from a third-person perspective, primarily following the main character, Erik. However, there will be occasional chapters, which will have perspectives of other characters. I hope you enjoy the journey, and I would love to see what you think about it. Please keep in mind that there are violent and graphic scenes, so this is a fiction for adults. Patreon: N. G. Blackwood Patreon
