Fighting the insect hordes of a malevolent God isn't easy when you're a young man with no special talents. While searching an old temple Kilek and his friends stumble across the Goddess Avendria who transforms them into heroes - all grown up, with weapons, magic, and skills. But when she gives Kilek nothing at all - nothing except the impossible task of saving the lands - he must fight bitter doubts. Worse, a dark prince is massing his armies and more, agents of other Gods have been set loose in the world. Only the long-lost dragons can turn the tide but Kilek must find them before it's too late. And somehow, he has to do it all without divine intervention.
