A Chronicle of Lies (High Fantasy/Isekai)
novel
Paperback and ebook are available for purchase ! Link. Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn’t want to be different. He just wants to lead a normal life, something his condition has never let him have. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness. But one dark night, the abyss pulls him in... A supernatural entity strikes, and a simple car accident becomes anything but as Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic, alien world where dragons stand on two legs, living and dying like men. And, thanks to a painful, impossible transformation, he is now one of them, stuck in a body he doesn't even know how to use. An ancient evil stirs. Strange storms leave terrors in their wake. The natives of this world think Vincent has the power to save them. But he doesn't want anything to do with them or their myths. Dragons and prophecies are the products of a broken mind...aren't they? --- If I were to describe A Chronicle of Lies in a single sentence, I would describe it as "Thomas Covenant meets The Dark Crystal and Neverending Story". I grew up with those films, fell in love with those worlds. They both terrified and enchanted me. I want to recreate these feelings in the reader. I want you to be enraptured one moment... and I want to scare the crap out of you the very next. I'm also a fan of Stephen R. Donaldson's Magnum opus.
