Read The Descent to Madness Storyline:

THE FIRST BOOK IN THE GRAEME STONE SAGA:Graeme Stone, twenty-five years old, disenchanted youth from Great Britain.Hurled from his humdrum life by dark forces beyond his ken, Stone lands on a far-flung world of ancient magic, eldritch spirits and terrifying barbarian slavers.His body grows stronger, faster, tougher. Strange new powers begin to manifest at his beck and call. But with no memory of his former life, will Stone choose to use his newfound abilities for good?Or evil...?Find out in The Descent to Madness, Book One of the Graeme Stone Saga!==The Nagah-Slayer stood his ground before the rampaging animal and, in an instant, the beast was on him, an irresistible force of rippling flesh, jutting bone and bestial hatred, tusks bared as it bore down for the kill with a terrifying squeal. Neroo could not tear his eyes away as he watched Stone, whether fuelled by insanity or bravery, laughably draw back his fist in readiness to punch the beast square in the face.                           A booming crack, like a thunderclap, that caused him to close his eyes and cover his ears in shock, the report echoing a thousand times off all the trees. He opened them again, in time to see the lifeless corpse of the beast skidding past him through the dried leaves, back the way it had come, its tongue lolling out its mouth, eyes glazed, lifeless, an indentation in the centre of its forehead that spoke of massive, instant brain trauma.Slowly, disbelievingly, he turned to gaze, along with the rest of the troupe, with awestruck eyes to the figure that stood, silhouetted with the sun behind him. Stone’s face was invisible, his fist held to his side, blood dripping to the forest floor with a steady drip-drip-drip.
