Pulling the sword from the stone didn’t make him a king. It sent him back to save one. Eben was a lawyer. He hated it, but that’s what his ex-wife wanted. When his father-in-law fired him from the firm, Eben had to get away. He booked a hiking escape to the Scottish highlands. Seeking shelter from a sudden storm, he ducked into a cave and found a sword lodged in stone. How could he resist? He grabbed the sword. But instead of becoming King, it sent him into the distant past. Emerging in medieval times, a system gives him a mission: Prevent Camelot’s fall and King Arthur’s death before the world ends—taking him with it. Monsters stalk the lands, born from the minds of men. Camelot lies beyond a veil of mist, guarded by deadly fae, and villages burn in the wake of a mysterious warlord. Without any clues to go on, he’ll need to figure out how to save a world he’s a stranger to. He spent his life being what others wanted. Now, ripped from his own timeline, he'll discover who he is and what he stands for. What to expect: Rational MC Isekai adventure Strong companions Weak to strong MC Alternate Arthurian history Realistic combat with consequences This story is for people who like: Dresden Files The Sword Of Jupiter He Who Fights With Monsters And: A planned trilogy Dark fantasy world Moderate to slow pacing Schedule: As I can while my eyes recover!
