Curse of the Outsiders (Chronicles of a New World #1)

This story is a spiritual successor to Path of the Outsiders (link). Reading it will help, but it's not required.

Eric Breeden is a hard worker. This showed when he was pulled to the World of Ahya to defend its peace. He adapted quickly, learning new skills, and soon became a warrior of some skill. After a brief death and a long break, he returns to help finish the job.

Megan Richards, with memories planted to aid her transition, suffers from a unique type of magic that involves another soul. She quickly masters this unique trait, however, and soon turns her skill towards helping Samuel Bragg and Eric Breeden fend off an invading enemy and restore balance.

These two ordinary people are now hailed as great heroes all across Ahya. Their story is spoken around campfires and sung by the bards. The only problem? With the sudden end to their mission, they're bored. They also don't want to leave Ahya behind and return to their normal lives. So they ask to stay and are granted permission.

Read Curse of the Outsiders to continue the great tale once spun. What will these two heroes do now that they have no grave prophecy spurring on their actions? Well, Eric wants to start a mercenary outfit. Megan wants to open a potion shop. Together, along with a few friends, they plan to start their new lives, which promise to be much more fulfilling than what they left behind.
