Unproven – a Novel by Drew Briney

A Powerless Mage Battles Psionically Gifted Dragons and A Superstitious Steampunk Society

#1 Best Seller in free YA SFF Steampunk novels and
#2 Best Seller in free YA SFF Action & Adventure

Forget the coffee. Unproven’s clash between magic and steampunk technologies will keep you reading late into the night. Grab your copy and see why veteran producer Beth “Bea” Roose predicted it would be a hit.  

When Shadow, a powerless mage, chooses exile to preserve family honor, he doesn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat psionic, camouflaging dragons. Neither does he expect those beasts to offer him a glimpse into a life wielding a mage’s power. Tasked with uncovering the secret behind magic’s evolution, Shadow leads unfriendly comrades through treachery, vampiric vines, ancient disembodied mages, and the legendary Mists of Ishmandool where few escape with their sanity.

When Shadow unveils a likely solution, it may be too late. Even if it’s not, it risks the complete annihilation of his people and worse, it’s unproven.

With strong female characters, a dark M. Night Shyamalan twist, dragons on steroids, a Brandon Sanderson-esque tight plot, and prodigious world building, Unproven is destined to satiate readers who enjoy sword and sorcery, mythical creatures, ghosts, dark fantasy, psychological thrillers, and Dungeons & Dragons.

Unproven has drawn comparisons to Ursula Le Guin (Harry Potter’s biggest influence), Elaine Cunningham (the queen of dark fantasy and Forgotten Realms), Fydor Dostoevsky (psychological godfather of Crime and Punishment), Andre Norton, and J.R.R. Tolkien. 

All Nighter …

[I] decided to read a couple chapters before bed ... That was 8 hours ago & I'm only taking a break to make some coffee. I love absolutely everything about this book! Thanks, I look forward to reading more.

Superb Worldbuilding

I can see why the author gets compared to Ursula Le Guin ...the worldbuilding is superb and I was glad to see the protagonist who was not your standard action hero, but a person struggling with anxiety and self-doubt.
