Part Two[]

Trapped in a distant dangerous realm, Tom and Lexi must find ways to survive together – but is their friendship capable of becoming something more? While Benny summons Ursula to fight the gruesome Troll, Tom must do more than fight; he must become a man. But will the cost of returning to his old life be too great?
