Grant Hayes was a single dad trying to give his daughter a good Christmas. Then a ten-ton truck made him roadkill. He didn’t get heaven or hell. He got a second chance in Eldoria.

Trapped in a realm of magic and monsters and maidens, Grant’s singular goal remains finding a way back to Earth, back to his family. His path home, however, is far from straightforward. He’s been gifted a profane new power: the ability to absorb both the world’s sacred magic and its most corrupting force, turning his enemies’ greatest weapon into his own.

To fuel this power, he must forge intimate soul bonds with the women of this new world, some of whom are drawn to him by a strange, mystical resonance. The problem? The two most powerful women — a fierce, beautiful princess and a sorrowful, lonely queen — are seemingly unrelated reincarnations of his own doting mother and the beloved daughter he left behind.

But his personal quest is overshadowed by a world-ending threat. A creeping blight corrupts everything it touches, commanded by a demonic ruler whose influence reaches further than he could ever imagine. To forge a path home, Grant must master his forbidden power and confront an evil that threatens not only this new world, but the very memories of the life he’s fighting to reclaim.

To master his power, he must master them. And to forge the soul bonds, he’ll have to claim them, body and soul, no matter how forbidden the conquest.
