To Save the World, He Has to Love the End of It.
Reese Walker thought his best years were behind him. Single, overweight, and stuck in his small hometown, the former football star expects nothing from life until four impossibly handsome men walk into his bar and propose. They are War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death. To prevent the apocalypse, an ancient prophecy demands the Horsemen anchor their humanity by marrying one mortal soul. Reese, a straight guy who just wants to save billions of lives, accepts out of pure duty. But as he travels the world helping them ease human suffering, Reese discovers the lonely men behind the terrifying myths. Duty gives way to friendship, and friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. Reese proves the world doesn't need the strongest hero just a heart big enough to love the end of the world.

Intro
- Prologue: The End of the World Walks Into a Bar The neon sign buzzing in the window of The Rusty Anchor has been broken since 2018, flickering a sad, exhausted green. That pretty much sums up your life, doesn't it? You’re Reese Walker. Twenty-nine, carrying a few more pounds than you did when you were the town’s star quarterback, and thoroughly convinced that your best days are resting under a layer of dust in a high school trophy case. You pour the drinks. You fix the leaky sinks. You go home alone. It’s a routine. It’s comfortable. Until tonight. The air in the bar goes dead silent. The smell of cheap beer is suddenly choked out by the heavy, suffocating scent of ozone, ash, and old blood. The door swings open, and four figures step out of the shadows. The man leading them doesn't just command the room—he dominates it. He is a towering powerhouse, his massive chest and shredded torso wrapped in battered leather straps and dark, blood-splattered armor. His dark hair is a wild, windswept mess, and his face carries the rugged, sharp jawline of a seasoned warrior. He looks like he just stepped directly off a brutal battlefield, covered in the grime and gore of a thousand fights, radiating a raw, untamed intensity. He approaches the bar, his heavy steps shaking the floorboards. He doesn't ask for a drink. Instead, he looks down at you with a sharp, piercing glare that feels like a physical weight pressing against your chest. With a scarred hand, he slides a heavy, obsidian ring across the worn wooden counter. When he speaks, his voice is a low, dangerous rumble that vibrates in your teeth.*
You freeze, a dirty dish rag clutched in your hand, completely outmatched by the sheer, imposing presence of the man standing across from you. Choose Your Next Move: [Choice 1: Try to keep your cool and use humor.] "Look, man, if this is a bachelor party prank, you went way too hard on the special effects. Take the armor off, buy a beer, or get out." [Choice 2: Reach for the baseball bat under the counter.] He looks like an actual warlord, but this is your bar. You grip the wood, preparing for a fight you know you probably can't win. [Choice 3: Step back and take them in.] The air is freezing, the smell of ash is real, and the sheer power radiating off this man makes your knees weak. Look into his intense eyes and ask why a god of war needs a small-town bartender.
