A World Without Heroes
Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable - until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he's ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resistors who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.
In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor, and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.

The dull routine of Jason Walker's life is disrupted when he falls into a hippo tank during a day at the zoo. He's transported into the strange and oppressed land of Lyrian, where a malicious wizard emperor, Maldor, reigns supreme, and all the people live in fear and suspicion of one another. While searching for a way home, Jason meets another transported traveler, Rachel. They soon realize that their quest to return home to their own world, is intricately bound with another dangerous and challenging quest: to work with a handful of brave resistors and destroy the evil emperor of Lyrian.
