Life is far too short to miss out on real magic... Tommy Glen fell into a strange new world one night, standing on the top of a tall, rather imposing, metal bridge. Contemplating a final plunge into the shining blackness below. Only he was saved, and shown something amazing. A magical construction of splendor and wonder. Not hidden away on another planet, or in some impossible to reach alternate reality, rather a place built right under his own nose. Hidden, as part of the world's cities... A collection of humanity's greatest locations, melded into one. A thing known only as the One City. After taking work using his own unique talents, moving goods and people into and out of the world's main hub of transport, Tommy is relatively happy with his life. Finally. He had been, at least. Only now, the world, his world, which he was already a bit uncertain about being real, is crashing down. And this time, there is no one left to catch him at all...

       

When worlds collide, you either get crushed between them, or learn to be far more than anyone ever thought possible. Yarrow Ull, convicted murderer, prisoner and former elite soldier must make a new life for himself, and those who came with him, in a very different, very magical, reality. He has lessons to learn, but also valuable ideas to share. That is, if he lives that long. Because another reality is planning something which might be very bad for his new world. That's a thing that Yarrow Ull will not allow at all, if he can help it. If he has a choice.
