Common Sense
(2026)(The first book in the King's Eat series)
A novel by Henrik Saetre and Shawn Wilson
Common sense is the rarest magic there is.
Pim Fudworth is broke, barely educated, and very good at being ignored.
Then he talks his way into the worst job in King'''s Eat: Sorcerer’s Apprentice at the city’s most hated magical complaints department.
The work should be simple.
Answer a few forms. Fix a few problems. Avoid being eaten by the furniture.
Unfortunately, the Ministry is one bad review away from liquidation, and in King’s Eat, ‘liquidation’ means everyone inside gets turned into office supplies.
To save the Ministry, Pim has to solve the impossible complaints the city has been ignoring for two hundred years, including a talking street sign with an attitude problem, a haunted tankard, a screaming cookbook, and one deeply unhappy bench.
His familiar is Brenaris, a furious little demon in a bespoke suit who is contractually forbidden from letting Pim get hurt but considers kindness a serious character flaw.
And somewhere in City Administration, someone has spent two centuries making sure the Ministry fails.
Pim can’t fight, can barely cast a spell, has no grand destiny, no ancient bloodline, and absolutely no idea what he’s doing.
But while everyone else is scheming, leveling, hoarding experience, or filling out the wrong form in triplicate, Pim keeps doing the one thing no one at the Ministry has tried in two hundred years.
He solves the actual problems.
Legends & Lattes meets Discworld's Going Postal in a cozy comedic LitRPG about found family, magical bureaucracy, bad reviews, demon familiars, and the quiet power of doing the obvious thing.
