The world didn’t end with fire or ice. It ended with a rain of blood, and a bureaucratic apology memo from the rest of the galaxy. Luckily, Lorenzo Locke had an umbrella. Enzo had always been a daredevil. Snowboarder, rock climber, martial artist, skydiver. Anything to get his heart racing. Until the accident set him on a different path. A quieter path, creating bespoke jewelry. Then came the rain. And with it, evidence humanity wasn’t alone and that magic was very, very real. But so too were monsters. Now the dead rise as Eaters; magically evolving, mana-sucking undead with a taste for hearts and brains. And the only help on offer? A cryptic Universal Training Guide that refuses to answer questions until you’re already figuring them out for yourself. So that’s exactly what Enzo will do. Master spells. Craft magical equipment. And protect the people he loves, including his rapidly evolving pup, a little sister who doesn’t know when to quit, and an old group of friends all willing to die for each other. He’ll even try to save the world along the way. Assuming he can figure out why his magic doesn’t quite seem to be the same as everyone else’s. And when he’s done with Earth, he’s going to find the asshole that sent the shitty apology memo and punch him, her, or it, in the face. Twice. What to expect: — Three chapters a week (Mon/Wed/Fri) — A slow-burn, weak-to-strong epic — Spell development, magic crafting, and ‘dungeon’ delving — Gritty, character-driven progression — A cast of characters with their own motivations — And an evolving puppy!
