Cole Thortan lived a jacked up life of mediocracy, but at least it was his. A kidnapping and waking up in a government ran prison would have been the worst of his problems. Know how they say, when it rains, it pours? The clouds are heavy with, I’m gonna screw you over, when he’s transported to another world thanks to a strange pedestal.

The veil has weakened, and the wheel of fate begins to turn. Two worlds, hidden from each other for centuries, threaten to meet once again, much to the detriment of their people. There is, however, an unlikely savior, Cole; a hero in his mind is finally able to become the kickass warrior of his dreams. Oh, and don’t forget love, but not in the way he had expected.

Vanesia has her doubts that the weird being is the one that will make things right. A brawler, yes, but far from the savior he’s praised to be. Tasked with being his shield, she begins to see something in Cole that not only has her questioning her first thoughts, but wondering why her body is craving what’s forbidden.

Telling lies, scheming, and betrayal, Cole must find a way back home and to his life. He’ll experience pain, suffering, and loss, but in the ashes of disaster, will find experience, kinship with the most unlikely of people, and a fiery romance that might be hard to leave behind.
