In This Life and the Next Jr Albert Huggins

Until Sam Connelly is in his late twenties, he leads a relatively normal life. He grows up, goes to college, falls in love, and gets married. Then, on April 12, 2016, he leaps in front of a moving vehicle to save the life of his wife, Caroline. Although the car miraculously bends around him, Sam still dies of his injuries. He then awakens in another world, the Land of the Promised, the place where all things begin and end and begin again. Soon Sam becomes a member of an elite force called the Protectors, a group commissioned by Ekon himself to defend the Land of the Promised and save the souls of Hinterland. Meanwhile, the ruthless Castro Thorn and his band of Marauders are looking for new souls to deceive. Thorn and his men use trickery in order to gain slaves and new members of his military; he is amassing a great army and plans to wage war on the Land of the Promised. Sam believes it is his destiny to stop Thorn before the war begins.
