Debut Novel · Out Now
She crossed into a dying world with a medic's hands and a soldier's instincts. She'll leave it a legend — if she survives the cycle.
Book One of an epic LitRPG progression-fantasy saga by Jonathan Brady Wood.
Mary Martinez woke in a field beneath two suns, with no memory of how she got there and no way home.
Disēlon is beautiful, ancient, and dying. Every dark cycle, corruption bleeds through tears in the sky — twisting beasts into monsters, blighting the land, and spilling demons out of the abyss. The people here don't know what Mary is. She barely knows herself… until she begins to see the threads of the Loom, the hidden system by which this world measures strength — and realizes she can learn to wield it.
With a nature-healer who pulled her from a river, a retired commander, and a band of misfit adventurers she gathers one by one, Mary sets out to do the impossible: find the source of the corruption and seal the rifts before the dark cycle devours everything.
But sealing the rifts is only the beginning. Something far older than the corruption has been watching the Loom — and it knows exactly why Mary was brought here.
One minute inside the world of Disēlon.
Chronicles of Disēlon: Book One — official trailer (1:00) · Watch on YouTube
The Loom is a rule-driven magic system with weight and consequence — progression you can actually follow, not hand-waving.
A healer, a retired commander, and a band of misfits gathered one by one. Slow-burn loyalty, earned the hard way.
Written for readers who want the sweeping kind of saga — a world with its own history, peoples, and rules. And this is only Book One.

Author · Game Creator · Worldbuilder
I'm Jonathan Brady Wood — an author, game creator, and worldbuilder from Texas, and I've spent my whole life inventing new worlds, cultures, and languages.
After a massive stroke in 2024, I set out on an adventure of the mind — building an entire world from the ground up, as much to rebuild what the stroke had taken as to give myself something to heal toward. Over the next year, one page at a time, that world became Chronicles of Disēlon.
Chronicles of Disēlon was selected for a literary spotlight by the Timeless Reader Book Club.
