Meet Noah Thompson, 31, corporate zombie stuck in a midlife crisis. His hair is falling out, his black eyes are colorless from his stint at shady Shadow Corp, and his hopes and dreams are in a life-supporting trance. His social life has him eating salty burritos late at night with a judgmental microwave.
Enter Emily, HR-gorgeous auburn curls who is the only bright sign in his miserable world. After two years of flirty lunches, Noah finally summons the courage to propose with a chipped sapphire ring over soggy sandwiches. It's immediately rejected, "Pathetic. Clingy. No futher." And to have it worse, she's now seeing Marketing Chad. Noah goes black in traffic, leaves the freeway, gets run over by a white van. Crunch. Heaukm. Riiiiiieeee! Kheyes.
Or is he? Noah wakes up at 17, a freaked out Noda Inferno with wild black hair and glowing red eyes in a world of floating islands, cinnamon-scented lava rivers, and kids commuting on fire dragons.
This ex-corp zombie must bust through a magic academy, dealing with outrageous fire powers as he navigates the chaos of magic - and learning that being run over by that van may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.
Join Noda as he turns his trash past into legendary flames in a story full of adventure, humor, and magic!
