Elias Grayson had always loved history. His life had been nothing but endless research and trips to forgotten places, uncovering secrets of civilizations long lost. But that day… that day changed everything. As he dug deeper into an ancient ruin in the middle of nowhere, something shifted in the air, and suddenly, the ground beneath him gave way. He fell, and just before the darkness took over, the last thing he saw was the faint shimmer of some unknown artifact.

The next thing he knew, he was awake… or, more accurately, aware. He was lying on soft grass, breathing in fresh air. The sky above was a strange shade of red, and towering trees with silver leaves whispered in the wind. But he wasn't in the world he once knew. No, this world was different.
