The long-awaited sequel to Jake’s Magical Market is finally here—and now with more market!

Well, not quite yet. First, Jake has to survive a perilous trek through time if he ever hopes to return home to his friends, his market, and his former world.

The last time we saw our intrepid hero, Jake had barely managed to escape being trapped on a dead version of his own world. Using a combination of his new powers, he threw himself backward through time, back to when the god that trapped him first rose to power. There, Jake snatched divinity from the hands of the ascending god, consuming it for himself without any regard for the consequences of his actions.

In a surprise twist, such a poorly thought-out plan came with some serious downsides!

Now Jake has a big target painted on his back. The jealous gods of this world are hungry for divine power and not afraid to kill another god to get it. Stuck in the past, Jake must learn to navigate a world full of desperate gods, wild monsters, bizarre powers, and weird “cultivating” mortals who claim they can become just as powerful as the gods themselves—as long as they get to sit around contemplating the mysteries of the universe for a few hundred years first.

Join Jake on his next grand adventure as he learns what it means to be a newly ascended divinity, how to survive in such a strange new world, and how he might just have an unexpected edge on everyone and everything that’s out to get him—by learning how to craft his own magical cards!

With a career that spans multiple genres, J.R. Mathews is best known for his work in the GameLit and LitRPG genres, where he blends adventure with a digital twist, often exploring what happens when characters are thrust into virtual worlds or timelines not their own. His Jake's Magical Market series invites readers into a world where magic is real, and the stakes feel as personal as they are epic. Here, readers find themselves not just escaping into other realms, but also navigating the emotional and physical journeys of characters who must adapt, survive, and grow.

J.R.'s Portal to Nova Roma series is another testament to his creativity. By blending time travel with ancient Roman mythology, he offers readers a rich, immersive world where past and future collide.
