Rowan Jun (Pathos, Book 1) PAPERBACK

Bury your Human Soul in the Heart of a Warrior!

Get swept away by this Sin-to-Redemption survival epic, in which a human underdog trains his way to the top of an elite Spartan warrior society of aliens. Fans of classic Shonen Battle Manga and Anime like Bleach and Naruto will love this high-stakes, soul-crushing origin story with huge swords, supernatural skills, and the unyielding will of one man who vows to turn the tide of every battle.  

Rowan Jun, born into the illegal slave trade, arrives planetside on Unata inside the blazing wreck of the vessel he once called his prison. This new place is legendary among his fellow slaves, the populace bloodthirsty, violent and unwelcoming to outsiders. How will the Unatans react when they realize he's responsible for the Slaveship QuellTruth’s crash, and all the deaths aboard?  

Then a new enemy brings war upon Unata. These creatures—the warrior class from the Slavers' home world Gangre-ta—thirst for vengeance over their losses, threatening to wipe out all Unatans. Rowan struggles to reconcile his bloody past with that of his new home, fighting the weakness of his human body and mind. He sets out to become the Queen’s own champion, to prove he can be the greatest warrior Unata has ever known!  

Now available on Audible! Narrated by the wonderfully talented Tyler Laux of Laux and Found Productions, Rowan Jun is brought to life with Tyler’s compelling, dynamic vocal performance, lending humor, power and raw emotion to every single scene, from Maraba’s sarcastic quips to Rowan’s agonized breakdowns.  

REVIEWERS SAY:  

“Avatar meets Conan the Barbarian”  

“Gripping and evocative SFF”  

“The hero's dark night of the soul comes early, and every step to climb out of that tragedy feels earned and satisfying. Terrific ending that still left me hungry for the rest of the series.”  

CONTENT NOTICE: This work mentions and depicts violence and battle that pertain to but are not limited to slavery, violent parental death, infanticide, desecration of corpses, funeral pyres, war, fighting, and death. Plus huge dragon-like horse creatures that chomp bad guys and spew their remains on other bad guys for intimidation, so that other stuff is more forgivable, right?
