Beastbound: The Gryphon Tamer

Benjamin always dreamed of worlds beyond the pages of his books. But when a mysterious quantum shift pulls him into Khial, a realm of fantastical beasts and uncharted wilderness, he’s forced to confront the reality of his imagination. Alone in a land where even the grass glows and creatures of legend roam, he stumbles upon an extraordinary gift: the ability to absorb knowledge directly from ancient tomes.

With fragments of forgotten lore guiding him, Benjamin learns to tame and bond with the mythical Gryphon—one of Khial’s most elusive and powerful creatures. But his new life isn’t just about survival. The deeper he ventures into Khial, the more he uncovers whispers of an ancient evil stirring in the shadows, a force that threatens to unravel the fragile balance of the world.

As Benjamin’s journey unfolds, he encounters others—kindred spirits and fierce rivals—each with their own agendas and secrets. Together, they navigate treacherous lands, unlock forgotten mysteries, and face the relentless dangers of Khial. Bonds of trust form, and amidst the chaos, Benjamin discovers unexpected connections that change how he sees this strange world—and himself.

But Khial is unforgiving, and every step closer to the truth reveals a darker reality. To stop the ancient evil from awakening, Benjamin must embrace the unique power he’s been given and rise to meet challenges no one else can. Yet, even with the strength of his Gryphon and the knowledge of the ancients, the cost of victory may demand more than he’s prepared to give.

In a world where survival is never guaranteed, Benjamin must decide: will he become the hero Khial needs, or be swallowed by the very legends he seeks to rewrite?
