A Promise Broken

By W. F. Porter

A promise made in love. A world crossed by accident. A fight to return to the one he left behind.

Vandor, one of Excelsior's most renown adventurers, never meant to abandon Evie - a shy, reclusive Everlander with unmatched beauty who changed his life in ways he never expected. He vowed he would never leave her. But one catastrophic test, meant to ensure her safety, strands him in another realm; a harsh world where violent Grayloc clans rule the forests, elves are driven to the brink of extinction, and where magic is foreign and fleeting.

Stranded, weaponless, and cut off from both his home and Evie's, Vandor becomes an unwilling player in a conflict he barely understands. Grayloc warbands hunt him. Elven scouts mistrust him. Ancient beasts stalk the fog-laden wilderness. And somewhere behind it all, unseen gods watch him with unsettling interest.

All the while, one truth eats at him: he broke his promise to Evie.
And if he can't survive this world long enough to find a way back, he'll never make it right.

But returning home means more than escaping a savage world. It means outwitting the Grayloc, earning the elves' reluctant aid, and mastering an untested magic that could kill him before it saves him.

Three worlds. One broken vow. And a destiny that refuses to let him go.

A Promise Broken launches the Game of the Gods series with adventure, emotion, portal-fantasy intrigue, and the relentless drive of a man willing to defy worlds for the woman he left behind.
