The Kingdom of Pines
THE KINGDOM OF PINES
The world ended on a Tuesday. The real work started on Wednesday.
In the deep woods of Great Pond, Maine, Jack Simon just wants to run his family's summer camp and keep the government off his back. But when the sky tears open and a convoy of refugees stumbles out of a dimensional rift-bleeding, barefoot, and fleeing a Warlord-Jack makes a choice that breaks every federal law on the books.
He doesn't turn them in. He hands them a shovel.
Five years after "The Migration" turned Earth into a refugee camp for elves, orcs, and knights, the Simon Estate has become the last true sanctuary. It's a place where magic heats the cabins, orcs pour concrete, and the family protects a secret that could shatter the world: Lyra, a ten-year-old girl with the power to tear the sky apart.
But safety is an illusion. When a ruthless human militia allied with the Warlord lays siege to the farm, the Simon's are forced to defend their home with a mix of diesel engines, hunting rifles, and stolen magic.
As the ammunition runs low and the siege engine grinds closer, Leo Simon, the family mechanic, realizes that the old world of electricity and rules is dying. To survive, they can't just hold the line. They have to build a kingdom.
Yellowstone meets Lord of the Rings in this gritty, atmospheric tale of survival, family, and the price of hospitality in a broken world.
