About this audiobook
Homeless, broke, and out of options, Lou Ford inherits a house from a father he never met — and discovers a doorway to a world that has been waiting for him his entire life.
Althoria is full of wonders. It's also under siege. An ancient force is waking, the ground in both worlds is beginning to crack, and Lou's late father left behind everything Lou needs to fight it — except the one truth that could break him.
What Lou finds in Althoria isn't just a battlefield. It's a home. A party of misfits who choose him. A woman brave enough to follow him through the portal. A destiny, a legend, far larger than one man was ever meant to carry.
He finally has everything to fight for.
Which is exactly why the cost of winning will be what he wanted most.
