Synopsis
Sometimes a single camping trip can change everything. When Ivor Freyrsson, a skilled and practical man content with his quiet life, embarks on a simple wilderness getaway, he has no idea that his world is about to be turned upside down. What begins as a peaceful camping trip quickly spirals into a surreal and dangerous adventure as Ivor encounters strange, reptilian children scavenging his campsite-and discovers powers within himself that defy explanation. Transported to a new world filled with magical forces, deadly enemies and ideals he thought were history, Ivor must learn to wield his newfound abilities before they consume him. Bound by a growing responsibility to protect those he never intended to lead, Ivor is thrust into a conflict that will challenge his very humanity. His journey will uncover the truth about this world-and reveal that his own past may hold the key to saving or destroying everything. Can an ordinary man navigate the extraordinary, or will the weight of magic and destiny crush him? Join him as he embarks on a journey of power, peril, and the thin line between man and monster.
