Fans of dark fantasy and epic mythos are in for an unforgettable journey with the release of The Soulbound Curse, the thrilling debut novel by J.B. Grimm. Launching worldwide on July 12, 2025, this first installment of The Hallowed Realms Saga dives into a cinematic world of Viking spirits, cursed legacies, and otherworldly battles.

When Elias, a reluctant hero burdened by loss, stumbles upon a powerful relic, he becomes the unwilling link between ancient souls and a rising demonic threat. Guided by a band of outcasts and shadowed by his own haunted past, Elias must awaken the five fallen Viking warriors to fight a darkness that threatens both realms — living and dead.

“This story was born from grief, resilience, and the kind of magic that lives in silence,” says author J.B. Grimm. “I wanted to create a world that felt both mythic and deeply human — where legacy isn't just inherited, it’s chosen.”

J.B. Grimm is the author of The Soulbound Curse, the debut novel in The Hallowed Realms Saga. A lifelong lover of dark fantasy, folklore, and high-stakes storytelling, Grimm crafts immersive worlds where magic, grief, and destiny collide. The author’s writing style has been praised for its cinematic pacing, vivid imagery, and emotional resonance — all of which shine in this haunting Viking-inspired fantasy epic.

Grimm’s creative roots are influenced by everything from Norse mythology and graphic novels to modern fantasy classics like The Witcher and The Lord of the Rings. With The Soulbound Curse, Grimm offers a bold new saga that explores the bond between the living and the dead, the weight of legacy, and the power of chosen family.

Outside of writing, J.B. Grimm admires his wife and children who he spends most of his time with.

Published by Regal Insight Consulting, The Soulbound Curse blends vivid lore, emotional stakes, and unforgettable characters. This debut promises to enchant readers of series like The Witcher and The Lord of the Rings.
