"Live for me." Those were the final words he heard, a desperate plea to help him stay alive. In a single day, twelve-year-old Luke Fenix's world was shattered.  The dead walked, death loomed over every corner. Surviving that nightmare seemed impossible—if not for his uncanny, god-like luck. Six years later, Luke has transformed his grief and resolve into strength. Joining an elite military squad, he has honed his skills, sharpened his instincts, and, above all, learned to master the one thing that has always been on his side: his luck. Now, with a new family by his side, Luke will face challenges that would break even the mightiest of men. Even if the many people they ally fight against their side, the foes that come with it double the price.  But can he become the soldier he promised his savior he'd be?  The leader someone believed he could become?  Or the hero he vowed to be for the woman who captured his heart? As the line between life and death blurs, Luke must confront the difficulties of being both a soldier and a hero. Will he rise above, or... Will his luck finally run out?
