The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically-induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.
The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse-and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.
Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.
