About this story
Attention New Readers: This book is STUBBED for launch on Kindle, KU, and Audible. Please don't take your wrath out upon the story; I wouldn't stub it if Amazon didn't force me to.
You can find chapters on my Patreon up until the book launch day. After that you can find them on Amazon.
On currents of magic, the System arrived. Monsters followed. Forty days until the first invasion. No pressure.
Andy wanted a quiet life—just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn’t ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson’s collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated—or died.
He didn’t plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive.
Now he’s got more than his own skin to worry about—kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System’s leveling him up—but not fast enough.
Because the countdown’s ticking, the invasions are coming, and if Andy fails, everyone he’s begun to care about will be slaughtered.
A progression fantasy about found family, desperate courage, and carving hope out of chaos.
Note to Victor of Tucson fans: Aside from being set in the Tucson area, this story is not related to that series, but if you like VoT, I think you’ll enjoy it. :)
New chapters every day until I catch up to backlog, then there will be 3 a week.
Advance chapters can be found on my Patreon.
