They say a good man cannot make a good king — but what if he isn't given a choice? Matthew Irons, a night security guard with two degrees and a dead-end life, stops a murder by force and is dragged onto the throne of a kingdom in another world. It's no fairy tale: he'll be ruling over would-be warlords, traitors, and slavers. The threats from his supposed allies are bad enough without the invasions, assassins, and — worst of all — bad city planning. Still, even as he fights to survive in a world full of danger, Matt is determined to drag his new kingdom into a new age, one where kings and despots are no longer needed — no matter who he has to fight to make it happen.
