Eric is a fairly typical guy. He teaches freshman physics, spends weekends bashing people with wooden swords, occasionally hang glides, and loves to ride his motorcycle. His car is full of odds and ends, his bachelor apartment is a mess... Until he meets Sasha, and is plunged into a world of both magic and darkness. While he struggles to come to terms with the changes in himself, the world around him will have to struggle with the changes he brings to it. The question is, will either adapt quickly enough to survive the other?
