With a chip on his shoulder and a lack of fucks to give, Robin navigates a world far removed from his own. On Gaia, he'll face twisted undead monstrosities, religious zealots wielding eldritch power, self-serving nobility with a monopoly on magic, beautiful women, and his own damned temper.

If he's really lucky, it won't be all at once.

Trapped in a kingdom separated from the rest of the world by a swarm of monsters spanning the horizon, Robin must explore his new power as a Tempered if he ever wants to break free. But there's a reason Tempering fell out of favor centuries ago, and he'll soon learn facing the demons within oneself may just be worse than facing any monster.

Expect a slow burn with flawed characters who don't always know what they want or what's best for them, realistic romance, dark humor, and serious themes. Power will be earned through blood, sweat, and tears.
