Fantasy

The screaming of the wolves was the only warning Jack Cole received before his own flesh and blood pushed him into the abyss of the Whispering Woods. Betrayed by Jesse Grey, the adoptive brother he had bled for across a hundred battlefields, Jack was stripped of his titles and left to be torn apart by the forbidden continent's most lethal predators. But the monsters did not eat him. They recognized the raw, jagged rot of a broken soul, and they chose to obey it. Now, commanding an unstoppable legion of beasts that nightmarish myths are born from, Jack is marching back toward civilization. Jesse has taken Jack's legacy, his home, and his peace, but he cannot stop the tide of claws and fangs coming for his throat. As the line between man and monster blurs, the kingdom will soon realize that the true nightmare did not come from the forest, it was the man they threw into it.
