Amidst the darkest days of antiquity, mankind discovers a new kind of hero. For
thousands of years, mankind warred without magic. Peculiar abilities
were buried in history along with the storied paladins and the
mysterious dark elves who rarely ventured into human towns. That
all changes at the end of the Tranquility Era, when a young man named
Ashton accidentally raises his murdered best friend Clayton from the
grave. Because of his mistake, Ashton becomes the focus of manhunts,
armies, and the King’s judgement, but Ashton is not the biggest problem
in the Kingdom of Surdel. The golden age of man is coming to a
close and enemies surround the civilized world. Lulled into a false
sense of security by isolation and pervasive peace, human lords hatch
petty schemes to weaken their rivals and gain favor with the throne.
Meanwhile, an ancient darkness stirs beneath the Great Northern
Mountains and the orcish hordes grow restless just beyond the Southern
Peaks. Out of the chaos at the end of the Tranquility Era, a new breed
of hero arrives to forge an age of sorcery and mayhem. And into this
chaos comes the Necromancer!

It's three thousand miles from the green fields of glory, where Henry “call me Hank” Thompson once played California baseball, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the tenements are old, the rents are high, and the drunks are dirty. But now Hank is here, working as a bartender and taking care of a cat named Bud who is surely going to get him killed. It begins when Hank's neighbor, Russ, has to leave town in a rush and hands over Bud in a carrier. But it isn't until two Russians in tracksuits drag Hank over the bar at the joint where he works and beat him to a pulp that he starts to get the idea: Someone wants something from him. He just doesn't know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn't have it. Within twenty-four hours Hank is running over rooftops, swinging his old aluminum bat for the sweet spot of a guy's head, playing hide and seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of two cowboys, two Russian mafia men, and some of the weirdest goons ever assembled in one place. All because of Bud. All because once, in another life, in another world, the only thing Hank wanted was to take third base—without getting caught.
