Greetings, travelers! This week, we’re making our way through the twisted paths of a world that teeters between myth and nightmare. Dense forests whisper secrets, and every step forward feels like a gamble against the shadows. It’s a realm where courage is measured by strength of perseverance, and where one man’s exile might become another world’s reckoning. Read on to learn more about Journey of a Forsaken Rose.
Author Kenneth Kelly brings a thoughtful, evocative voice to dark fantasy in his immersive story, Journey of a Forsaken Rose. With rich worldbuilding inspired by fairy tales and personal experience, Kelly paints the cursed Wanwood with lyrical dread and beauty. His characters, especially the weary yet steadfast Graf, are nuanced and deeply human, even when surrounded by supernatural threats. From found-family camaraderie to chilling confrontations, Kelly threads emotion through every chapter, building a tale that feels both mythic and personal. The result is a fantasy journey as introspective as it is perilous.
Dog trainer trainer and former soldier Graf is exiled from society, cast into the Wanwood, a cursed forest in another world teeming with horrific monsters and other dangerous obstacles. But Graf is not alone. As he embarks deeper into the seemingly endless forest, searching for any sign of civilization or refuge, he meets bizarre allies, a lovestruck shapeshifter, and a supernatural helper known simply as the Traveler. Will Graf and his companions find refuge in Sanctuary, a safe haven for the lost and weary? Or might some things be too good to be true, could a sinister secret jeopardize Graf’s newfound paradise?
“A lively and at times hard-hitting story, where hardly any folk are what they first appear to be.”
— Piers Anthony
