A Father's Flame

When Dante Denegal stepped into the office that morning, he expected a typical day-meeting with clients, trading awkward banter with colleagues, and enduring the dreadful Wednesday lunch special. What he did not expect was betrayal. In a single breath, the life he’d built collapsed-his children magically turned into stone orbs, his reality shattered, and a swirling portal to another world, left by his girlfriend, in the middle of his living room.

Now stranded in Gaia, a land where mana flows like breath and nightmares walk in the shape of monsters, Dante must face a harsh new reality and find a way to reclaim his children. To make matters worse, the Gods themselves have cursed him-for reasons he cannot yet fathom.

Guided by the echo of a woman who looks uncannily like his late wife, Dante must traverse hostile lands, where allies are scarce, trust is costly, and danger lurks at every turn. The only constant is the fire of purpose burning in his heart-a fire that refuses to let him quit.
