Battleborne, Book 1 - by Dave Willmarth (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Max was a professional soldier, and extremely good at his job. Right up until it killed him.

At the moment of his death, he meets Hildi the Valkyrie, and is given three options. Serve Odin in Valhalla as one of the Einherjar, fighting each day and celebrating each night until the battle of Ragnarok. Accept his death as final and end his existence. Or be reincarnated as a Battleborne on a random unknown world.

Max chooses to gamble and live a new life, whatever that might entail.

He is reborn with a strange monster-infused bloodline in a world of magic and monsters, with nothing but a canvas diaper, sharp teeth, and claws.

There are no respawns, and at level zero, nearly everything can kill him.

With his new status as one of the Battleborne, much is expected of Max. Dangerous and difficult quests are presented to him, with the loot ranging from filthy goblin loincloths to epic weapons that will aid his fight for surficial.

Join Max as he learns to navigate his new life of adventure while struggling with the instincts of his monster bloodlines in this hit action-fantasy LitRPG adventure.
