Science, Magic, and Mayhem

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 to help and protect the people he loved. Naturally, he's rewarded with an army at his doorstep and corruption too close to home.

When betrayal rips him from his family, he's thrown into the strange world of suburban America where metal wagons roar, stiff winged birds cross the sky, and nothing is the same.

Now hunted by a ruthless secret police force and a dangerous cult seeking the power he carries, 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 and the Harpers become targets, Adelfried must choose between protecting the family he's found... or finding his way back to the one taken from him.
