Every Road But Mine: Book One of the Deathless Wanderer
By J. TreckerLength33h 16m
About this audiobook
Jeff Trecker cannot stay dead.
Every time he dies, he wakes somewhere new: summoned beside heroes, trapped in a child’s body, bleeding in an alley, or caught in a city ready to turn survival into legend. He knows enough stories to recognize the shape of destiny, but understanding the pattern does not make him its hero.
Armed with memory, stubbornness, and a talent that keeps making him useful in dangerous ways, Jeff learns the hard lesson of each world: illusion, limitation, attachment, and the cost of becoming necessary.
In a life where every road seems to belong to someone else’s story, Jeff keeps walking anyway.
