The Burrowing Rodent Empire: Origins

By Dillon Willett

Mari Stonepaw is an ordinary gopher with modest psionic ability and a quiet life in The Burrow, a sanctuary for rodents in a war-torn world.

Then she wakes in a mysterious cave with no memory of how she got there.

When strange, otherworldly creatures threaten everything she knows, Mari is pulled beyond the safety of home with two unlikely allies: Jerro, an awkward beaver engineer who treats every problem like it can be solved, and Greg, a brooding but steadfast marmot.

Together, they push past the familiar to uncover the secrets of the multiverse-and what the Burrowing Rodent Empire truly is.

But time is mercurial, and the deeper they dig, the more reality shifts beneath their paws. Mari will have to rise fast... or be swallowed by the chaos.

A YA science-fantasy adventure featuring anthropomorphic animals, psionics, dimensional travel, and multiverse-scale twists.

We burrow.
