Storm's Breath

Someone who didn’t know Pavel might mistake his heroic bravery for a death wish, and there’s no better place for either than the world’s first fully immersive game. Sure enough, the competitors are intimidating, and the monsters terrifying — though neither more so than blossoming friendships with two determined swordswomen.

Spurred by pure-hearted altruism alone, Pavel joins their quest to find the Storm’s Breath: an artifact that bestows magic powers — and real-world riches — upon the first player to find it. And with a ruthless mage on their heels, he’ll find plenty of opportunities for bravery.

Reincarnation

Dying sucks. Owl Garcia really doesn’t want to do it again.

But reincarnating into a fantasy world is tough for a jobless high school dropout. Owl’s only path to survival is to find his first ever job, earn the trust of a kingdom of idiots, and forge a team strong enough to protect him.

An unknown goddess reincarnated him for unknown reasons. But if she thinks Owl will be her obedient pawn, she’s mistaken.

About the Author

Jacob R Ford discovered his passion for writing in high school despite dreadful English teachers and completed his first novel when he found himself surprisingly unemployed one university summer. Since then he has worked tirelessly (and often tiredly) to pursue his dream of being a fantasy author. With three books published and writerly business cards on the quick draw, he now introduces himself as such, though the words still feel surreal on his tongue.

When not writing, he can be found engineering software, making music, or mourning the temporary closure of HEMA clubs.

Praise for Storm's Breath

Vivid and fast-paced adventure, complete with gripping action, original magic, very human characters and powerful themes about finding friendship and meaning. Storm’s Breath has it all, and it’s a lot of fun.

Emma Heywood

Reviewer

With its pacey, punchy plot and wittily sharp narrative, Storm’s Breath plunges the reader straight into the mind of a teen boy fighting for his freedom – and with his hormones. A virtual-reality adventure that is both otherworldly and human, J.R. Ford’s novel brings a fresh approach to the genre through characters that are as three-dimensional as the game which they’re playing.

Storm’s Breath has relatable characters, a fun adventure and interesting monsters. The decisions Pavel has to make, whether to look out for himself or be the hero he wants to be, makes it easy to support him and feel like you are going on this adventure with him.
