What If You Got a Second Chance to Become What You Were Meant to Be?

Enter a World Forged in Cosmic Trials

Doomhaven Odyssey plunges you into a breathtaking universe where death is not the end, but the gateway to a reality shaped by the enigmatic System. Here, individuals plucked from across time and space seize a second chance to become more than they ever could.

Imagine waking in a world designed to break you, only to rebuild you into something… else. Guided by the cryptic System and its ancient avatars, five strangers must master powers fueled by truth, divinity, primal, and technology. Survive the Hunt, the first book, throws you into their desperate struggle against not only monstrous threats and brutal trials, but the crushing weight of their own past traumas. Can they forge trust in a crucible designed to isolate? Can they become stronger when everything is set to break them? Can they become more than just survivors?

Fans of Zogarth's Primal Hunter will appreciate the relentless progression and unique skill integration, while readers who enjoy the gritty character work and harsh realities of Joe Abercrombie's The First Law or the unsettling, transformative environments found in Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation will find familiar echoes in the depths of Doomhaven. It's a journey questioning identity, sacrifice, and the full cost of a second chance.

Meet the Chosen—Five Souls on the Brink

Thrown together by the System's cruel design, five disparate souls must forge an unlikely alliance to survive. Zuberi, a burdened tribal leader haunted by his past, wrestles with the weight of past failures, unwanted responsibility, and nascent powers of time and fire. Lisa, a compassionate social worker fleeing her own ghosts, struggles with the curse or blessing of her own abilities—muddled visions of what's to come; feelings sha hasn’t felt yet; losses and gains that are not hers but are bound to be. Hanz, cynical and sharp-tongued, wields shadows and a resilience born from addiction and regret. Completing the ragtag ensemble of misfits are Eli and Shifty. Eli, who’s only ever craved belonging can feel others’ feelings, hear them think, and sometimes speak to them in his mind. Shifty, Eli's shapeshifting protector, the only native of Doomhaven in the group, can adapt to any situation, any shape survival demands. Can this broken pack learn to trust one another and master their abilities before Doomhaven tears them apart?

A Note from the Author

Like many stories, Doomhaven Odyssey has lived in my head for the better part of twenty years, evolving through countless forms. But it wasn't until I discovered the LitRPG genre that the core concept truly crystallized. The sense of progression against incredible odds, the way the ridiculous could become a feature, not a bug – it resonated deeply. Still, I wanted to make it my own, blending those elements with the character-driven, psychological depth I love exploring. My hope is that I've produced something worthwhile, something that captures the thrill of the game alongside the weight of the choices. Actually, more than that. I hope you'll enjoy this journey into Doomhaven and keep coming back for more as the odyssey unfolds.
