After years on the run across the multiverse, I'd genuinely hoped the quiet coastal town of Arkley would be the perfect place to settle down.
I just wanted somewhere to take it easy on the morning school run, to pile the hot chocolate high with marshmallows, and to enjoy a few high-stakes games of Keepy Uppy with my daughter, Edie.
Oh, and being able to keep my Supremacy-grade magic strictly hidden away wouldn't go amiss either.
But the powers-that-be had to go and make life complicated, didn't they? You see, our new backyard sits right on top of a dimensional tear. Now we've got Abyssal monsters interrupting playtime, and my System interface nagging me to bring the sky-burning thunder. Again.
It's all a bit of a hassle, to be honest.
But I guess someone has to keep the neighborhood standing. And with a heavily armed government operative masquerading as my daughter's new teacher on one side, and a shapeshifting bear who bakes a brilliant scone on the other — both of them taking a pointed interest in the single dad next door — I'm sure we'll get it sorted.
Hopefully, before the world ends. Or the HOA fines me for the state of my lawn.
Book one of The WarMage of Arkley. Book two out 30th April.
Genre: Fantasy
