”So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Hazen Smith was your average young man. He has lived a pretty decent life thus far, and now he is currently attending the college of his dreams at Oxford University.

But his life gets overturned when he learns from an old man in a bar that he is none other than the Dark Lord of Mordor; Sauron, the Lord of the Rings.

Surely you shouldn’t trust old men in bars right? So what happens when Hazen awakens as you guessed it Sauron, with all of his memories back to boot. Is this his second chance for a new life? One where he can bring himself a purpose of goodness when all he has ever done was tear others down? Why is he trapped on a world of mythical creatures, and what does this world have to offer that can bring him the purpose that he so desires?
