Behemothbard
Death spat soldier Jake Stone back out - not onto familiar ground, but into a brutal, magic-scarred reality where survival is a desperate clawing. He's not alone, flanked by Pip, an ice-breathing furball whose luck cuts both ways, and Helen, a fiery-haired priestess of a tailed race, beautiful and burdened by secrets. Primal dangers stalk this land.
A clash with an ancient titan leaves Jake inheriting its terrifying, uncontrollable strength. Is it a gift from a war god, or a curse poised to tear him apart from within?
Their escape is a desperate gamble: a fragile raft against an alien sea ruled by a lethally beautiful mermaid and her savage sea warriors. Starvation bites, hope dwindles, and Helen fades... Jake's raw power grants a shocking victory, only to land them aboard a mysterious ship crewed by strange, bamboo-eating panda-sailors. Is this bizarre vessel salvation, or just a new snare in a world designed to break him?
Can this broken soldier, enigmatic priestess, and unpredictable furball survive? Can Jake conquer the titan's fury raging within him before it consumes him whole, and unlock the secrets connecting his lost past to this hostile new future?
