A Protector's Beginning
How the hell did I get here? Jason’s gaze flicked down to his right hand, covered in blood – his and the monster’s – and glimpsed the black ring cradled so gently on his finger. “Oh, right,” he whispered with a desperate grin. The stirring monster once again drew his focus. They both stood at the same time, fists raised. Finality hung in the air. This would be the last bout… for one of them, at least.
Jason Verse lives a quiet life with his Uncle Jeb on their family estate. Yet Jason hides a personal war against an emptiness in him, a near physical force that rages against any purpose in his life and destroys any chance he gets of connecting to anything or anyone. This quiet life is shattered when he finds a black ring hidden deep in the family manor and is pulled into a history older than the ancient Verse family. The ring chooses him, granting him astounding powers and designating him as the champion of Earth, a Protector among the alien realms. Finally here he has a purpose strong enough to fight the void that lingers so deep in him. But in the end he must still choose: accept his new duty or fall under the crushing rage of the void.
He is thrust into a universe of amazing and terrifying races, advanced technology, and magic. With the help of his surly uncle, his best friend Dave, and an alien who seems to know an awful lot about the Verse family. Jason must dive deep into new worlds of mysterious and danger. It is up to him and his ragtag group of friends and family to stand against a force that threatens to wash over Earth and control it with an iron fist.
Will Jason have the strength and fortitude to stand against the malevolent forces threating his world and to the endless darkness in himself? Only time will tell.

About
Kyle T. Davis grew up in rural Oregon, spending time working on the job site with his father, a contractor, shooting guns, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with his friends. From digging ditches, roofing, farm work, to Project Manager on million dollar plus projects, Kyle has lived a life of hard work, completing this novel while working full time and starting his family. Though he lives in small town now with his amazing wife and three beautiful children, the country boy in him has never left. His faith in Jesus Christ is a major factor in all he does. From leading and raising his family to his interactions with all around him. He loves lame jokes, D&D (3.5 for life), guns, knives, books, science fiction, fantasy, bourbon and most any fine spirit, and of course writing. He looks forward to producing more works and hopes his writing can create characters who are role models for the next generation.
Quotes I live by
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will fac
e my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― From Frank Herbert’s Dune
