The Hero  - 🇺🇸

by Shalom Kolontarov

"Washed-up actor Shalom Kolontarov is pulled from obscurity by two mysterious warriors from the future, who claim he’s the prophesied savior of their world. Transported to a dystopian, sci-fi-fantasy realm ruled by the tyrannical sorcerer Blake, Shalom is reluctantly thrust into a hero’s journey. Trained by warriors and tempted by powerful women—including the seductive Queen Elizabeth—Shalom must uncover his hidden potential, navigate complicated love triangles, battle monstrous enemies, and unlock his inner power to stop Blake’s growing army. Armed with courage, humor, and a dragon hatchling named Viper, Shalom must prove that even a forgotten actor can become a true hero. "
