Science, Magic, and Mayhem [Reverse Portal, Progression, Urban Fantasy]

"slices of life wrapped in terrible danger"  Adelfried, responsible family man and head of his village, has spent the last twenty years studying a source of incredible magical energy known as the Root. But when death and betrayal hurtle him and the Root into the suburbs of America, he is caught in a battle between a ruthless police force and a deadly cult searching for him and the power of the Root. After barely escaping, he makes it to the safety of the Harper family’s home, the one place he can remain hidden. He’ll explain all of this to the Harpers once he learns English, but until then, paying in silver will have to suffice. What to expect: Currently on hiatus until Jan 25. A reverse-portal, urban fantasy told from multiple POVS. Add handfuls of action, adventure, humor, and slow progression. Add a scoop of sci-fi, a dash of slice of life, and a pinch of found family. Blend until rich and creamy. Top with multiple complex story and character arcs. Garnish with an angry shrimp. Read and enjoy. The story is primarily set in our world, think Men in Black, but with magic instead of aliens. Chapters published Wednesdays and Saturdays.
