About Nicholas Wolfe
Nicholas Wolfe’s path to authorship is as gripping as the story he tells. Wrongly accused and imprisoned, Wolfe was cut off from the world—but not from his imagination. With no access to computers or traditional writing tools, he saved what little he had to buy notebooks and pencils, crafting Shatter entirely by hand, page by page. Fantasy became both his escape and his way of reclaiming identity. What started as a lifeline in confinement evolved into a raw, personal exploration of fate, power, and self-worth. Shatter isn’t just a novel—it’s a bold testament to the power of storytelling, born from injustice and transformed into art. Now free, Wolfe is dedicated to sharing his voice and world, proving that even in the darkest places, creativity not only survives—it thrives.
Why This Book?
Not all stories are born in comfort—some are forged in struggle. Shatter isn’t just another fantasy novel; it’s a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and self-discovery, written in confinement by an author who turned isolation into creation. Nicholas Wolfe’s raw and unfiltered storytelling delivers a protagonist who never asked for destiny, a world teetering on chaos, and twists that challenge everything you expect from fantasy. If you crave deep, unpredictable storytelling with real stakes, Shatter is the book you’ve been waiting for.
