The Fallen Odyssey

Author: Corey McCullough is an independent copy editor, proofreader, ghostwriter, and author. He lives in western Pennsylvania with his amazing wife Vanessa and their two beautiful daughters. His favorite pastimes are reading, writing, playing video games, spending time with his best friend (Vanessa), and, most of all, being a dad. A teenager’s wish to escape his stressful life just came true — with otherworldly consequences. Nothing is going right for Justin Holmes. Like many seventeen-year-olds, he sometimes wishes he could just run away and leave everything behind. But he gets more than he bargained for when he storms out of the house after an argument with his father and accidentally steps into a parallel universe of swords, shields, magic, and monsters. Suddenly, Justin is desperate to find a way back to his ordinary life in small-town America. His search for answers takes an unexpected turn when a strange old man and a powerful mercenary recruit him to rescue a kidnapped princess. But their rescue mission quickly takes a disastrous turn and becomes a life-or-death flight deep into the unknown wilds. Justin and his unlikely allies are on the run from dark forces wielding deadly, arcane power — demonic beings that seem to have suddenly arrived from somewhere beyond this world . . . just like Justin. Justin may not be a fighter, but he is intelligent and strong-willed. He soon realizes that nothing in this world is what it seems. Even his allies’ mission may have all been a ruse . . . to get to him. Ancient secrets are revealed that could shake the foundations of this alternate world . . . and might unlock Justin’s portal home. The Fallen Odyssey is a contemporary portal fantasy novel for college and “new adult” audiences. It is the first of a trilogy but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. If you like epic, serious fantasy about dangerous quests in magical worlds, check out The Fallen Odyssey.

Chapter 84: Ronice (Part 2)

"You mean to fully evacuate Ronice?" said the mayor.

"My people can't stay here," said Leah, "and to leave you unprotected would only result in further disaster. But perhaps at the capital, the people of Ronice will find sufficient protection. When the original evacuation took place, you decided to stay in your city. I would have done the same thing. But now, things are different. The devils that tried to beat down your doors were but a taste of what may come. I will not force anything on you or your citizens. Ronice will decide Ronice's fate."

"We'll have a vote," said the mayor. "The remaining members of the town council won't be hard to track down-"

"Not the town council," Leah said. "The town guard and the soldiers who risked their lives and volunteered to protect your people-they have proven their loyalty to your city in word and deed. We'll put it to a vote among them."
