When Monkhaven, a town in the north of England, is torn from the world it knows and dropped somewhere else entirely, three thousand ordinary people wake up to find magic is real. There are monsters in the woods. There are races they grew up reading about in fiction. And somewhere beyond the hills, there’s an empire that enslaves the vulnerable - and hasn’t noticed them yet. They aren’t heroes. They’re shopkeepers, office workers, lads from the pub. People who had bills to pay and shifts to clock in for. None of them trained for this. At the centre of it are five friends trying to hold their town together. Survival comes first. Then alliances. Then the slow discovery that magic here answers to who you are, not what you were taught. And maybe, just maybe, the life they left behind isn’t completely gone. This isn’t a story about a chosen one. It’s about what ordinary people can build when there’s no one else coming to save them. What to expect: Ensemble cast • Town-building • Slow burn progression • Magic discovery • World-building • Found family • Action balanced with slice-of-life • Romance subplot What not to expect: Overpowered MC from chapter one • Grimdark misery • A protagonist with all the answers *Currently editting chapters to change names, check chapter 46 for the reasoning. Thanks.*
