Some family you’re born with, but the best are often found along the way.

Adelfried, family man and leader of his village, studied magic hoping it would bring peace. Naturally, he’s rewarded with an army at his doorstep.

Betrayal rips him from his family and throws him into the strange world of suburban America, where his magic makes him a target. 

Hunted by a ruthless police force and a deadly cult, he’s forced to crash on the Harper family’s couch, the one place he can remain hidden.

He’ll explain everything to the Harpers once he learns English. Until then, paying in silver will have to suffice.

As danger closes in, Adelfried must choose between protecting the family he’s found… or finding his way back to the one taken from him.

What to expect:

- A reverse portal, urban fantasy in a modern setting

- Fast paced action grounded with slice of life moments

- Magic treated like science

- Multiple POVs and interwoven character arcs

- Found family, humor, and an angry shrimp

Think Men in Black, The Dresden Files, and The Mitchells vs. the Machines tossed into a blender.
