The Gods are watching.

Dr. Eric Friedrichson’s comfortable life was destroyed by the reckless action of another. His wife, infant daughter, and career were all snatched from him, leaving only grief and the family dog, Fjord.

With his life shattered, he withdraws from friends and family, hoping that he could disappear into his misery. Eric’s hope is ignored.

An ancient Goddess of Vengeance is in need of a champion to compete in a contest between the antiquated Deities of Earth. She wants his talents, drive, and resources to win the competition and entertain the primeval pantheons. If he agrees, he will be sent to Uwe, a world where the Gods and Goddesses are still revered, to compete against man and beast. The prize for Eric if he wins? Vengeance and the restoration of his wife and daughter.

Eric is not the only contestant. Other Deities have chosen their champions and each of the competitors bring with them their own skills and reasons for seeking victory. If champions can gain the Deities’ favor during the contest, they will be rewarded with powers and items worthy of the heroes of myth and legend.

After making a deadly bargain, he’s bringing his dog, knowledge, 80’s music, and every bit of technology the Gods will allow to a new world. If his plan works, he will change the people of Uwe forever. If it doesn’t, he will lose his opportunity for revenge as well as his only hope of seeing his wife and child alive again.

What would you do to bring your family back?
