"We all come into the world naked, crying, and covered in filth. My arrival in this new world wasn't any different."
- Bailey Groves
A Minotaur, a Mage, and a Human walk into a tavern...
It sounds like the beginning of a joke-until Bailey Groves wakes up far from Earth in Haven, a fantasy world where everything is either magical, murderous, or both. Usually both.
His ticket back to Earth? Collect a set of 12 Dragon Orbs. Simple, right? Wrong.
The dragon soul trapped inside the first Orb wants him dead. The other Orb holders want him dead. Almost everyone he meets wants him dead. The local wildlife wants him dead. Even the flora seems to have a personal vendetta against his continued existence.
In other words, it's Australia.
With magic.
Armed with firearms that make wizards nervous, new magical abilities that are just as dangerous to him as they are to his enemies, and enough sarcasm to curdle milk at fifty paces, Bailey must navigate this hazardous world. His mission: survive long enough to get home without becoming the very monster he's fighting.
He might save the world.
He might destroy it.
Let's be honest-at this point, he's just aiming for not dead today.
Read on to find out which way the cosmic coin lands-because in Haven, even the gods are placing bets.
