When Max volunteers to walk through a flaming portal into another dimension, he’s trying to get on his father’s shit list. He’s not expecting to drop into an ancient spiritual feud between hellhounds and ice tigers.
Good thing Max came prepared: no guns, questionable fashion choices, and a ride-or-die bestie with the sharpest tongue on either side of the veil.
He’s in over his head. He’s entirely screwed. And if he dies now, his father wins. Max isn’t above a little spiritual shenanigans to get out of this mess, but the side effects are… permanent.
To escape his family, he stepped through fire. To survive, he’ll fight like hell.
