From bestselling author J.M. Clarke (Mark of the Fool), comes RUNE SEEKER, the next hot progression fantasy adventure, where the weakest person among his people will rise to unimaginable power.

The Everfail will rise. His enemies will fall.

Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior. Studies longer than any scholar.

But all his people are born with magic powered by the sun, flowing through tattoos on their bodies. Despite having enormous energy within, Hiral is the only one who can't channel it; his hard work is worth nothing.

Until it isn't.

In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a special instruction: Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward.

It's his first--and maybe last--chance for real power. Just one problem: all dungeons lay in the wilderness below the flying islands that humanity lives on, and there lay secrets and dangers that no one has survived.

New powers await, but so do new challenges.

If he survives? He could forge his own path to power.
If he fails? Death will be the least of his problems.

Don't miss the next Progression Fantasy series from J.M Clarke, bestselling author of Mark of the Fool, written with C.J. Thompson. Unlock a weak-to-strong progression into power and a detailed LitRPG system with unique classes, skills, dungeons, achievements, survival and evolution. Explore a mysterious world of fallen civilizations, strange monsters and deadly secrets.

About the Author
J.M. Clarke is a Canadian author that watched way too much Godzilla as a kid. He has worked with children and families over his career, volunteered in hospice, and failed to learn how to play the bass three times.

Having written stories for twenty years, he started sharing them online during the pandemic and--next thing he knew--he was a bestseller on Amazon. He is still half-convinced this is all a dream.

He is best known for his Mark of the Fool and Rune Seeker series (cowritten with Carter J. Thompson), and has had short stories published as well.

Seriously, this has to be a dream, right?

Carter writes books, drinks coffee, and obsesses over shoes; just don't ask him to do that all at the same time - he's terrible at multi-tasking. And punctuation.

Hailing from the Canadian Maritimes, he's been from far north to far south in North America, and even to the other side of the world, but is now living in Vancouver BC with his smart, beautiful, and wonderful wife (yes, she could be reading this).

Writing somewhere between science-fiction and fantasy, he loves a good story, and if you want to find out more about his work, the latest series Rune Seeker, co-authored with the pretty awesome JM Clarke, is a good place to start.
