Back of Book Two blurb
UNBOUND is on sale now & later this week I’ll reveal the cover of Book Two of the UNBOUND TRILOGY!
Unbound paperback has launched!
I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the long-awaited paperback of my novel UNBOUND is available now through amazon print-on-demand. In the future I hope to host in-person signing events, but our current status during this ongoing pandemic make that uncertain for the time being.
What is certain, however, is that the hard work I put into developing this novel has been worth it. I edited, did graphic design, formatting, conversion, publication, the interior map, graphics, and marketing myself—with the exception of the original cover art by Reid Palmer. It’s been a long road, but now that I have learned these skills, using them to produce books 2 & 3 will be far easier, allowing me more time to focus on writing and editing.

Book One of the Unbound Trilogy available now!
Djansi is an outcast who spends his days dreaming of Nkaya—a world of magic he can never be part of. For Nkaya cannot be attained by the poor; only the privileged can afford to have their magic unlocked … to become one of the Unbound.
Nsia is the quiet daughter of a once-powerful merchant family. But deep inside, a flame burns; Nsia knows she can be so much more—if she wasn’t saving Djansi at every turn.
His fathers lost in an uncharted forest; a strange power that threatens his very life, and the broken laws of the Unbound.
Together, Djansi and Nsia face a world that is larger and more deadly than they ever imagined.
Book One of the Unbound Trilogy. A YA Dark Fantasy novel of adventure, magic, and romance.
About the Author
Christian J. Gagnon grew up in Moncton, New Brunswick on the east coast of Canada, and studied creative writing at the University of New Brunswick. He then worked as a farmhand, trained as a blacksmith, then went to college to become a chef (which all seemed quite sensible at the time). He has been writing short stories and home-brew campaign worlds for Dungeons & Dragons for twenty years, which his friends sometimes even enjoy. He proceeded to work himself to near-death in the hospitality industry for many years before completing his first fantasy novel at the age of 30-something. He still lives in Moncton, and will probably die there.
