His only wish is to bring comfort to all, but others recognize him for the pain his healing hands once caused. Ryker Hayes is a licensed massage therapist, and a damn good one at that. It's a career he's passionate about, and all his plans for life are on track—until he winds up transported to the world of Werifesteria in the body of an infamous warlord, at least. Now all he really wants to do is forget the misdeeds of his alter ego and retire to a life of anonymity with a couple interesting women as his new partners. Together they open the very first massage inn and spa in all the land and take on all the responsibilities that come with it. Turns out, it's a lot of work! To reach his potential, he'll have to come to grips with the secrets of this mysterious world and the way its magic system functions. Can he find peace in the borderlands? Can he turn his Mastery of the Threads of Power into a fulfilling career as a masseur to the denizens of this fantasy world? And last, but certainly not least, how will he manage his increasigly complex relationships?

Trouble is knocking on his door, but this masseur only answers paying clients. The whispers of war are growing loud enough to shake the leaves off the trees, but the Magic Touch Inn and Spa is on neutral territory. More and more troublesome guests have made their way to the inn lately, but Ryker Hayes and his beautiful business partners are ready for any challenge. Or so they think. Ryker wants only peace for himself and all those whose lives he touches. Just as much, he hopes to never again give in to the violent tendencies of the so\-called Scourge, his bloodthirsty alter ego. With a runaway orc princess, a feisty demonkin, a feline emissary to the Elder Gods, and an elven assassin who can't shake her trauma, Ryker has a lot on his plate considering only the company he keeps. Yet together, they're stronger, and nothing—not even a world\-ending war—could tear them apart.
