      <image:title>About the Author - Michael Head is the author of the Threads of Fate and Wandering Warrior series. He was severely injured while serving in the military, and used his time recovering to rediscover his love for books. After medically retiring from fifteen years of service, Michael went back to college to finish his degree in order to become a professor. His love of learning and ability to speak several languages made it an obvious transition, but life had other plans. When the coronavirus shut down his school, his wife encouraged him to finally take the leap and try writing his own books. He found his experiences in combat allowed him to write detailed and realistic fight scenes. Those battles, combined with his attention to detail and ability to plan vast, elaborate, and comprehensive worlds, make for fast-paced and thrilling books. With, of course, the occasional touches of humor and sarcasm thrown in the mix. He currently lives in Kansas with his wife, who is also retired from the military, and their three daughters. Michael is also losing an ongoing war with the neighborhood squirrels that invade his attic, but he will continue to fight until the bitter end against the implacable enemy of mankind.</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - James Holden has reached the maximum level there is for a human. That’s perfect, because he’s the only one of his kind: a wandering warrior, without control of his destination, tossed between universes by gods who’ve failed to tell him why. James is the lone Judge on a new world in need of someone to balance the scales. He isn’t afraid to do so with extreme prejudice. As the Chief Justice, he has to right the wrongs the innocent can’t fix themselves.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As James quickly discovers, the roots of corruption run deep. Guilds choose to protect themselves rather than the people. Monsters roam the wilderness unchecked. Judgment is usually a decision between right and wrong, but nothing is ever that simple. This time, being the strongest human won’t be enough to punish the guilty. James might have to recruit some new blood, even if he prefers to work alone. On his twentieth world, he is going to win, no matter the cost. James will have to find a way to break past the limits of the system if he’s going to have a chance at making a difference.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jim was thrust back in time, returned to his body at the moment he started cultivating. Anyone else might have given up, but Jim doesn’t have that option. He’s already made the mistakes that doomed him in his first life, and he knows what to do to make it right. Jim wants to right the wrongs of the past… or, future? All while a pair of angry gods torture him through lack of sleep. He must find a way to reach the top of the cultivation world without drawing the attention of those who would take his knowledge of the future for themselves. Jim has seen how the world ended, and he is determined to fight his way through the world’s hidden foes and defeat his destiny. Weakened to merely a shadow of his former strength, he quickly learns that fighting alone may not be his best option, even though fate seems to like it that way. Luckily for the world, Jim thinks fate is stupid. He doesn’t care what it wants.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>He’s told to save the world. To stop the death of billions. But the only thing he’s given is a chance. Jim has saved his clan, but has become a wanted man in the process. His journey towards the capital must continue. He needs to warn the king of the danger his kingdom now faces, and Jim only has the support of his friends. Winter is trying to freeze them to death, the forces of darkness are on high alert, and the monsters are hungry. The hunt is on. Jim must find a way to survive the storm. Even if his team does make it, Jim knows his enemies will be waiting for him to show his face once more.

      <image:caption>Darkness seeps deeper into the world. The gods can only watch from afar. Time is running out. Jim and his friends found a way to stop the evil infesting the leadership of the Empire, but the shadows of the world are not all cast by the demon incursion. There's plenty of darkness already dwelling within the corrupted heart of the Empire. One of the team goes missing, and Jim has to find them before it’s too late. They have a chance to reach the Western Province before the nox infection spreads, but having the entire team is paramount to their success. They'll have to find a way to come together, or risk the Empire sinking completely into the darkness. No pressure, it's just the fate of the world.</image:caption>
