Dazed and confused, Daniel wakes up in Nous, a land torn apart by nearly a decade of war. A war Daniel couldn't care less about. All he wants is to find a way home. The journey home, however, turns into the adventure of a lifetime as Daniel discovers he has a rare gift - a talent so prized in Nous that it's legendary. It doesn't take long before word leaks about his ability and a bounty is placed on his head. Daniel could turn the tide in the war; and no one knows that better than Nemon, the commander of the wolf army.
Fast friendships are formed on the run, eating around a campfire and giving dark wolf warriors the slip. Tight bonds are truly cemented while hiding and escaping – laughing and blowing off steam. Thrown into a world so very different from his own, Daniel must learn to fight with a sword, sleep under the stars, paddle a canoe and ride atop a deer. But those skills are nothing compared to learning who to trust, when to act and most of all how to listen; because strangely enough, it's that last skill that will make all the difference.
