Duncan grew up in an isolated valley, determined to become a hero of legend. When he is flung through a portal to a land far from his home, he must survive and grow stronger quickly. New forces led by powerful otherworldly beings are beginning to make their presence felt, and he has been chosen by Medim's absent gods to face them. Assuming, of course, that he can navigate a society he doesn't entirely understand and find allies he can trust.

In the apocalypse, the first weapon he’ll have to upgrade is himself.

The end of the world as we know it couldn’t come at a worse time for Adrian.

One minute, he’s an operations manager who’s overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. The earth’s surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations.

Many of those changes aren’t pretty. Plenty of them are deadly.

Luckily for Earth, this has happened to other species before, and everyone receives an interface that survivors of similar events have used to navigate through an alien landscape.

Adrian’s going to need every advantage he can get. He’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, there are days, maybe weeks of travel between him and his family, and in a world full of monsters and mayhem, survival means beating the learning curve…
