AN EXILED PRINCE.
TWO WARRING KINGDOMS.
ONE DEVASTATING PROPHECY.

Darius Rarkez was destined for the elite Crimson Guard until treachery stripped him of his name and his home. Exiled and disgraced, he survived ten bitter years in the gutters of a foreign land, trading his noble sword for the life of an outlaw.

Now, he has one goal: Flee Estos and leave his haunted past behind.

Freedom, however, is expensive.

So when the guild’s most daring heist promises enough gold to buy a new life, Darius turns to a reclusive seer for a glimpse of his future—an assurance they aren’t marching to their deaths. But the vision he receives instead shows a world in ashes.

An ancient enemy has reawakened, and a great darkness stirs in the basin of Estos.

To take the gold and run would condemn hundreds of thousands. To stay and fight would mean protecting the very people who betrayed him.

The gods have spoken. The hourglass has turned. Which will he let burn?

Tropes:

  • Wrongful Exile
  • Found Family
  • Morally Grey Hero
  • Grave Prophecy 
  • Ancient Evil Returns
  • Chosen One
  • Deadly Wilderness
  • Hidden Magic Bloodline
  • Forbidden Romance

What People Are Saying About The Divided Region...

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Really like the writing here - no try-hard fancy word-play, doesn't elaborately describe characters and scenes, leaving something for the imagination to chew on. Good pacing as well. It's not a first-person snark-fest emotional character study - there is action and a plot. You avoid all the things that annoy me about modern SF/Fantasy writing. Keep it up and I may have hope for this genre after all. Everyone wanting to write should take some lessons from this author.

    - Mike C.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great story! I enjoyed listening to it and the narration was fantastic.

    - Ryan (Audiobook Listener)

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I used to read all the time and absolutely loved it, but as work got busier and I came home exhausted, I felt like I didn't have the time or energy. Months passed without a book and everyday life began to feel a little dull. Then I discovered your audiobooks. They gave me something to listen to while I worked and drove, and slowly they reignited a hunger to know more — to imagine scenes as vividly as my mind would allow. Now I'm reading again, and I had forgotten how much I love stories and how much they mean to me. For that, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to every book, whether I read it or listen.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I have listened to all of the books I absolutely love them.

    - Joey

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    You got no business tellin’ a story this good and readin’ it like you’re sittin’ right in the room with me. I started your audiobook just to have somethin’ playin’, and next thing I know I’m sittin’ there frozen in place, hangin’ on every word like I’m part of the scene myself. Ain’t many folks who can write a world that pulls you in, then turn around and voice it with that same fire. You got me hooked clean through. Don’t you slow down now — keep these stories comin’. I ain’t ready to step outta this world you built, not even close.

    - Lori B.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    - Matt S.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Man Behind the Story

From an early age, D.J.J. Watson got sucked into epic fantasy worlds fraught with danger, quests, survival, and otherworldly beings. His imaginative mind – known all too well by his long-suffering friends and family – constantly sought to live these experiences through movies and video games, only to exhaust their catalogues in a few short years.

When he finally turned to the birthplace of these worlds (books), he soon encountered a problem: 

He couldn't finish most of them. 

Many were sprawling, bloated with needless narrative, and featured so many POVs, it was easier to neck several shots of vodka than to remember the character names.

This bothered him immeasurably.

There he was, yearning for the same magic and escape fantasy offered him in other forms, but couldn't find his "in" anywhere. Not in bookstores. Not on Amazon. Not in all the popular reader forums and groups. Nowhere.

And so, for more years than he'd like to count, he retreated from the genre and conceded that he might be the problem. It was only during the 2020 lockdowns in a cockroach-ridden Cypriot apartment – after his partner, Laura, couldn't stomach rewatching The Lord of the Rings for the 113th time – that Watson finally set out to do something about it.

He figured if he struggled with this issue, there had to be others out there struggling with it, too.

And so, The Divided Region was born.

Beyond his mission to bring more short, bingeable, fast-paced epic fantasy novels into the world, Watson is a father of two rambunctious boys, affectionately known as Stinker One and Stinker Two. 

When he's not battling sleep deprivation or changing dirty nappies, he also plays Overlord & Saviour of the Legion (his author newsletter), where he connects with his most ardent fans, known as Legionnaires, and serves up whimsical musings and a steady stream of egregious puns.
