Jonas and The Squid: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Kory Kunze's gritty and unforgiving debut adventure fantasy novel.

Three lives. Three losses. One truth they refuse to face.

Brandon is searching for answers in a lake city filled with strange tentacle symbols--clues that seem tied to his brother and something far more unsettling underneath the surface.

Rowan, a retired general, has lost his land and his daughter. With nothing but anger and regret, he sets out across the brutal Frontier to reclaim what was taken from him.

Trevor, a conman in the gothic city of Cor Brielle, is given the impossible chance to bring back the woman he loves--if he's willing to descend into madness to do it.

Each is certain their journey will restore what they've lost. Each is wrong.

As their paths collide, Jonas and his Squid promise salvation, while a mysterious woman threatens to unravel everything they know.

Only a leap in the dark will save them on THE GRIEF ROAD.
