WINVAR: The Conversion (Paperback) by Levi Dwyer

Most days, Henry wakes up to the sound of his alarm, signaling another day of drudgery at a job he hates, in a life that has seemed meaningless ever since his divorce. So, when he instead wakes up to find himself standing in the middle of a strange, unearthly forest, you can imagine his surprise.

With no other options, Henry must adapt to survive in this fast-paced, unforgiving world where he must hunt to survive, navigate an impossibly large forest, and evade strange creatures that travel through shadows to pursue him. Another challenge awaits him, too: A telepathic wolf named Winvar appears in the forest and informs Henry that he is Zuhaut Fub, a being who is one half of a matched pair.

As his other half, Winvar and Henry are forever linked, and Henry discovers an ability to shapeshift into a hybrid, wolf-like form. Now these two unlikely allies must fight a path through the chaos of this beautiful new world to find their purpose and, perhaps, to restore peace to the realm.
