I was Drafted Into a War as the Only Human

Lucy Gray was a tech genius—until a stranger smiled, pulled the trigger, and ended his life. But death wasn’t the end. It was a recruitment. Dragged before a pantheon of ancient gods, Lucy learns his soul has been drafted into the Holy War—an eternal bloodbath in which Gods fight across shattered realms. Out of thousands, he was soul #4,000, chosen by Seraphine, the Goddess of Rebirth and Suffering. Now reborn in a dying world of Ogres, Giants, Beastkin, Dragonkin, and Elves, Lucy is a human among legends—a species exiled and nearly forgotten, for reasons that make him hated. Armed with nothing but defiance, sarcasm, and a bizarre ability to steal and master the powers of others, Lucy has one job: survive the impossible. The gods wanted a pawn. They got the wrong dead man.
