Axe Druid

When Chris and his veteran gaming buddies answer a mysterious plea in their dreams, they are transported directly into the fantasy world of Brindolla. To protect both this new realm and Earth from the galactic conqueror War, the party must fight back against relentless minion vanguards. Stepping up to adapt as a versatile Axe Druid, Chris fights side-by-side with his tight-knit team in Into the Light, blending real folklore, RPG mechanics, and intense group action.

Into the Dragon's Den is the second book in the Axe Druid series, following Zeke and his companions as they deepen their foothold in the world of Brindolla. Barely settled into their new reality, the group has been relentlessly leveling up and pushing back the forces of the galactic tyrant War. But their momentum is shattered when one of their own friends is suddenly banished to the darkest depths of the Hells—vanishing without warning and leaving the group stunned.

Now the stakes have doubled: they must continue their mission to halt War's vanguard while simultaneously becoming strong enough to storm the Hells themselves and bring their friend back. Even with the Brindollan Gods offering what aid they can, the odds feel impossibly slim. With the world they are trying to protect turning against them, Zeke and his allies must seek help from unlikely sources, explore dangerous new territories, and grow far beyond their current limits—before it is too late to save the friend they refuse to leave behind.

Zeke and his friends embark on a desperate mission to rescue their buddy, Balmur, from the depths of the Hells. Their path is fraught with immediate dangers, starting with a confrontation against a mythical beast that might sooner devour them than offer aid. Following this perilous encounter, they must locate the hidden city of the High Elves and convince them to join their crucial cause.

Adding to their challenges, active opposition now directly threatens their efforts to save not only their current world but Earth itself from the encroaching influence of War. Surviving the beast and securing elven assistance are merely the initial hurdles before Zeke's team can brave the ultimate dive Into the Hells, where Balmur's fate, and potentially both worlds', hangs in the balance.

With Balmur rescued and a General defeated, Zeke and his team return to Sunrise, intending to train and rearm. Their plans are swiftly disrupted when an unexpected guest threatens the growing village, forcing an uneasy alliance. This new partnership allows them to begin tracking another of War's Generals. However, their mission is complicated by a web of royal negotiations, Zeke's evolving relationship with a Fae Queen, and the looming threat of the Drow. As they delve Into the Darkness, not everything is as it appears, and Zeke and his crew must surpass their previous limits to navigate the dangers ahead and survive their perilous journey.

Zeke and the team, known as Storm Company, are one step closer to their goal of defeating War’s generals and freeing Brindolla for good. Their harrowing return from the Great Below has left them scarred, but now their mission is clear: hunt down War’s elusive generals wherever they hide.

This quest demands they journey across the open ocean to a mysterious continent, rumored to be inhabited by beasts. As they prepare to sail, plots thicken, revealing currents of intrigue and danger they must successfully navigate. With their survival and the fate of Brindolla at stake, Zeke and his companions must brave the unknown and confront escalating threats as they venture Into the Storm.

Storm Company is battered and scattered across the dangerous Continent of Beasts following a brutal clash with War's generals. Weakened by a magical illness that cuts off his spellcasting, Zeke must rely on his instincts and Bea's support to survive the wild terrain and find a cure. In Into the Wild, the stakes reach their peak as the team fights to reunite, overcome impossible odds, and face the ultimate final showdown for the fate of Brindolla.
