A group of strangers wakes in a strange land with no memories beyond their own names and three raw emotions: fear, instinct, and the will to survive. With no clear way home, they take the only work available, joining a volunteer corps tasked with fighting the threats that menace this world called Grimgar. Left behind by the stronger recruits, a ragtag party has to band together and learn how to fight, cooperate, and endure, in a place where death is permanent and every small victory is hard-won.
