457 - June 28, 2026 - Mark, The Chosen One, Dominion of Blades

This week’s been a challenge thanks to the UK heatwave, but I’ve still managed to make progress on my latest fantasy project. I’ve been working through what I have so far on Mark, The Chosen One, a follow-up to my Patreon novella Orphan Farm Boy of Destiny.The story picks up 20 years later. Mark is now in his forties, has a teenage son, and hasn’t picked up a sword in over two decades. The Dark Lord never appeared when prophecy said he would… but now the prophecy has finally come true. After years of living an ordinary life, Mark must decide whether he can become the hero everyone expected him to be.On the reading front, I finished Dominion of Blades by Matt Dinniman and immediately started Book 2, The Hobgoblin Riot. I’m really enjoying the series and seeing another side to Dinniman’s writing outside Dungeon Crawler Carl.Follow: patreon.com/joncronshawauthor
