Disabled. Disgraced. Defiant.

When a sports injury ruins his body and his memory, Wes Malcolm loses his scholarship and his place in the world.

After every treatment fails, he is forced to consider that his future and dreams may be lost. But the next time he sleeps, he winds up in another world with its own rules. Here, he can grow, learn, and thrive, with no injury or public disgrace to show up and take it all away again. But this world and all its sister planets are under assault from dire prophecies and a slavering horde of nightmare creatures.

The strange, beautiful steward of these worlds offers him a deal: Save her worlds, and he can take part of the power he gains back to his original body on Earth. There, he can use that power to undo his condition and gain another shot at all his hopes and dreams. And maybe even exceed them.

But will removing his disability and stigma be enough for him to become the hero he believes he can be?

Come and find out.
