the Man Who Sat on Wrong Bench

Cullen is a man of simple needs: a perfect cup of tea, a reliable kettle, and a deep mistrust of his own knees. Living in a quiet valley in Wales where the highlight of the week is bin day, he never asked for adventure. But the land does not ask for permission.When his lawn literally unzips itself to reveal a very small, very angry subterranean warrior, Cullen's life of "gentle underwhelms" comes to a violent end. He soon finds himself caught between a fierce warrior named Sigrun, a group of bumbling tiny men, and a massive, supernatural wolf at his door. His house, it turns out, sits directly on top of an ancient "Sentinel anchor"-a device that has just rebooted after a thousand years, displacing his entire valley into a dangerous "overlap" of multiple realities. Now, the man who once spent his afternoons avoiding his own thoughts must learn to command a house that fights back, using everything from his sofa to his tea tray to defend against hunters from the shadows.
