The Upper Limits J B James

Abducted, enslaved, and powerless fighting for survival.




The day started like any other day. Narrock, Allister, and the rest of their kindred engaged in training to unlock their upper limits: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and heart. To unlock a limit, a warrior must prove themselves worthy to complete the temple ritual. Back then, the goal was simple, train to become an elite warrior. No one could have imagined how drastic their lives would change in less than one sun cycle. One moment, they were free. The next, they were engaged in a battle more intense than any training they have ever experienced-survival.




After being kidnapped to Ryzanu, ten children of Jhatar werestripped of their identity and forced to accept new names. The girls, sold as servants to the twenty-four Routen, and the boys, thrown into the Coliseum where every day was a fight for their life. Desperate to see his people freed, Narrock spent ten years trying to understand how his captures had harnessed the power of the elements. He knew the gifts from his world were not enough to return him home. He would have to become like his captures, and harness the power of the elements, if he hopes to have a chance of seeing Jhatar again
