A war rages between good and evil, and Zeke?along with the rest of humanity?has been recruited onto the front lines. Fully healed from the wounds of his previous life, Zeke battles his way through an army of trolls and other subterranean beings, all the while increasing his skills, improving his strength, and gaining superhuman abilities. Finding allies in Abby, an archer who teaches him about his strange new circumstances, and Pudge, a helpless cub who's become soul-bonded to him, Zeke must keep collecting victories if he's to survive in this merciless world.
