Chris Tullbane – The (Second) Life of Brian

Brian Fieldings just buried his dad and got fired from the only job he’s ever had. But just when he thinks he’s hit rock bottom, he literally hits rock bottom… waking up on a stone altar in a pitch-black room he’s never seen before.

Where he is, how he got there, and why are all questions he’ll have to answer quickly, as there’s someone or something prowling the halls just outside. But those answers will only generate more questions, as Brian’s apparently been tapped to play a role in a war that’s been brewing for centuries.

The only problem? Neither that war nor the world it’s taking place on are anything Brian is ready for. In fact, he’s pretty sure whoever brought him here has the wrong guy entirely.

Speaker of Tongues is the first book in a slow-burn progression fantasy where the numbers and stats typical of LitRPG books are grounded in an epic fantasy world and balanced by a focus on party-based adventuring, group dynamics, and themes of personal growth.
