Shadow rank ~#492 in Contemporary↓17

Three friends get thrown into a world of magic and fantasy, well, more like the world of magic and fantasy gets thrown at THEM! Machinations of otherworldly beings results in creatures known to us through myth and fiction being transported to our world! Now the three friends and the denizens of the small West Virginian town they live in have to deal with some new, strange, and not all friendly arrivals! Will the town and their friendship survive, or will these new arrivals be what breaks the fragile peace of the town? And what darkness will it awaken inside them? Elements include: A blend of traditional fantasy, local mythology, dark American folklore, and Eldritch Mythos. Elves, dwarves, goblins, kobolds, halflings, and more dealing with our modern world and own myths and legends, and they dealing with the newcomers in turn. Secret Government Agencies and other secret organizations doing their best to contain, or exploit, the chaos caused by these new arrivals to our world. Hostile Magic. Ninety(ish) percent of traditional fantasy magic will result in a mixed bag of results in our world. Mostly bad. This is circumvented with "patrons". Elements, spirits, Eldritch beings, devils, djinn, etc. done mostly by the average magically inclined person, and occultists via ritual/ceremonial magick. POV spread out between three friends, the people closest to them, and some occasional side characters. Prologue is pretty rough in terms of length, content, and POV. It gets better and more consistent after that so please bear with it. Now with dedicated volumes! Skipping or catching up made easier! A dark low-mid fantasy dramedy is what I'd personally call it. At least once a week between 11:30 and 12 CMT. (Barring life and/work getting in the way.)
