The Refugees

Legendary heroes Ash, Bob, and Sylvara arrive in the drowning Archipelago Cluster as gods — and within days are starving, powerless refugees, their divinity glitched to nothing by a world that runs on the wrong frequency. Marooned on the water-world Thalassia, a realm with barely a century left before magical collapse, they are unknown, unsupported, and forced to rebuild from absolute zero. A progression fantasy of fallen demigods learning to be mortal again, on a dying world that has no idea what it is sheltering.

The Books

Book 1

Driftwood

Sacrificed to save one world, they were banished to another. In the crushing silence of a realm cluster that isn't theirs, Ash, Bob, and Sylvara awaken as flotsam, cast adrift with nothing but their wits and the clothes on their backs. Stripped of their former power, they must navigate a new reality that operates on brutal, alien vibrational rules. To survive, they’ll need to find work in the desperate slums, barter secrets in the shadowy Undermarket, and gamble everything on a single, dangerous job. But this new world has its own predators, and the Hunger is growing. Can they make a place for themselves here, or will they simply become another piece of driftwood on the shores of a forgotten god?

When their desperate hunt for a score brings them face-to-face with the Guild’s brutal enforcers, they’re forced into a deadly game of heists and subterfuge. They’ll have to dismantle the Guild from within or watch their last hope, and Sylvara, vanish forever.
