I watched in horror as dark magic sprang from my hand faster than an imp after your socks. I didn’t know my name, let alone that I had such power. The man was dead. I panicked. I ran.

How was I to know I was a dark magic enforcer, tasked with keeping magic hidden from the world? Yeah, total noob move, I know.

But my memory is returning, and the Hidden have given me twenty-four hours to make amends. Cover it up. Finish the job I was given, or else. Failure isn’t an option. Well, it is, but I like me, and I like being alive.

The clock is ticking as I battle to make things right and exact revenge on those that took so much from me. Easier said than done as I deal with angry mages, bitey zombies, oversexed imps, creepy necromancers, and grumpy trolls—and those are just my friends!

Having escaped a doomed Earth, the colony ship Destiny has been travelling for a thousand years towards a distant, but apparently habitable, planet. However, something happened, long ago, that upset the carefully laid plans of the starship’s designers, a crisis, now long forgotten, that left the crew and its descendants trapped for generations within the ship’s biosphere.

For teenagers Ben and Tessa, this Earth-like biosphere is the only world they’ve ever known. That’s about to change. While harvesting cotton one warm afternoon, they see a hole open up in a nearby meadow—like the doorway to another dimension. That hole disgorges a naked man, barely conscious and clutching a human leg bone, and then vanishes. As astonishing to Ben and Tessa, this man is a complete stranger to them, and in their small world, no one has ever seen a stranger before.
