The Rift and the Reckoning
(2025)(The first book in the Land of Nowhere series)
A novel by Nick Blade
The gods are dead. The land is dying. And it will not go quietly.
In a world unraveling under the weight of ancient lies, two reluctant heroes hold the key to its salvation—or its destruction.
Theron, a former warrior turned outcast, carries the weight of a shattered faith and a son he couldn’t save. But when whispers of rebellion and a forgotten god reach his ears, he must take up his blade once more—or let the world fall to ruin.
Jerrick, a reclusive farmer more at home among apple trees than battlefields, never wanted the power he was born with. But the land has begun to turn against those who wield its essence, and Jerrick must decide: harness his forbidden magic to save his people—or be consumed by the very world he seeks to protect.
Bound to the souls of ancient gods, they walk a path of power, madness, and betrayal. But the land's fury cannot be tamed—and its reckoning has only just begun.
The land is rising. And it wants revenge.
Perfect for fans of James Islington and John Gwynne, The Land of Nowhere is a sweeping tale of reluctant heroes, ancient gods, and the fragile line between destiny and choice.
