The Fallen Odyssey

Worst. Chosen One. Ever.Darkness spreads across the land. A Dark Lord rises in the east. And a prophesied hero appears who will save the world. There’s just one problem.The Chosen One is a teenager from Earth, with no powers, no skills, and no idea what he’s doing.When seventeen-year-old Justin Holmes storms out of the house after an argument with his father in small-town America, he wakes up in a strange, fantastic world where he is recruited by a mysterious old hermit and a legendary mercenary to rescue a kidnapped princess. Pretty standard, as far as fantasy adventures go. Only after rescuing the princess does Justin discover that she wasn’t kidnapped at all. She was under arrest for the murder of her entire family. And Justin just became her accomplice.But Justin isn’t just lost in this world. His allies believe he was sent here. He is the Chosen One, the hero that will save all humanity from a Dark Lord leading a host of demon armies.

All Justin wants is to find a way back to his ordinary life, but he is farther than ever from discovering how he arrived in this strange realm. Will he ever see home again? Is he really the Chosen One, or is it all just a case of mistaken identity? Can he find it within himself to rise to the challenge and be a hero anyway?The Fallen Odyssey is the classic Chosen One trope with a twist.
