Sam was surfing with his cat when the world ended.

Suddenly enlisted into a battle to fend off annihilation, Sam seizes the strength of the Void to survive.

In the aftermath, Sam is thrown into a new world shattered into floating islands with survivors from Earth. Training and fighting with his giant sword and apocalyptic mana alongside his magical healer cat, Sam's unusually quick to adapt to this deadly realm of monsters and magic.

With endless threats to face and countless powers to attain, Sam's journey of Ascension climbing has only just begun.

But first, he'll have to forge a Legend of his own.

James T. Callum

James T. Callum is an author whose adventurous spirit transcends the world of fiction. Hailing from the swampy landscapes of Florida, he made a journey that spanned across the United States, with each new book release marking a new chapter in his life. It took just over two years and five books for James to find his home in the misty mountains of Washington, a place where the beauty of nature mirrors the complexity and depth of his writing.

A lifelong lover of fantasy and adventure, James’ works weave together the world-building prowess of traditional epic fantasy with the interactive and immersive elements of LitRPG. His series, including Beastborne Chronicles and Brookmoors Magi, showcase his unique ability to blend thrilling narratives with richly imagined worlds. Whether it's the expansive, magical landscapes of Beastborne or the darker, more grounded tones of Brookmoors, readers are swept into adventures that keep them eagerly turning the page.

When he’s not crafting intricate plots or building fantastical worlds, James can often be found indulging in his other passion: video games. This hobby, along with his extensive experience as a Dungeon Master in Dungeons & Dragons, has greatly influenced his approach to storytelling. His love for interactive narratives and game mechanics shines through in the way he structures his books, keeping readers hooked with elements that feel both familiar and refreshingly new.

In addition to his thriving career as an author, James has a personal connection to the themes he writes about. His travels—from the swamps of Florida to the peaks of Washington—mirror the journey of many of his characters, and his real-life experiences with gaming and world-building are embedded deeply in his stories. As of 2025, his latest work, Dunes of Midnight, is the seventh installment in the Beastborne series, continuing to capture the imaginations of readers who crave epic adventures filled with heart-pounding action and complex, relatable characters.

James T. Callum's books are a reflection of his own journey—both physical and creative—blending his passion for fantasy, gaming, and storytelling into narratives that transport readers to new worlds. With each new book, James proves that he’s not just a writer; he’s a guide, leading readers through wild and uncharted territories of imagination.

Voidknight Ascension

When the sky fractures and reality shatters, what’s left is not ruin—but rebirth. Voidknight Ascension launches readers into a fractured world adrift in the void, where Earth’s remnants float like shattered dreams among islands of magic, danger, and opportunity. This isn’t a tale of instant heroes or flawless victories. It’s the slow burn of survival, the grind of power earned, and the quiet resilience of a man who refuses to break—even when everything else already has.

What begins as a surreal apocalypse quickly spirals into something more intimate and unexpected: a journey shared between Sam and his unlikely companion—a healer cat with more sass than sentiment. Together, they navigate a patchwork world where old rules no longer apply, and strength is measured not only by magic and levels, but by empathy, ingenuity, and sheer will. Each step forward uncovers ancient dungeons, bizarre enemies, and the whispered promise of ascension—if they can survive long enough to claim it.

With its seamless blend of progression fantasy, slice-of-life charm, and LitRPG mechanics, the series invites readers into a world that’s both strange and strangely comforting. It’s a story that builds slowly, investing in character and consequence, letting moments of quiet reflection stand shoulder to shoulder with epic battles and evolving magic systems.

Perfect for fans of immersive world-building and emotionally grounded adventure, Voidknight Ascension doesn’t just ask what you’d do if the world ended—it asks who you’d become in the one that followed.
