After Halastaesia

What if you were summoned to save another world… and then you were sent back?

Ben’s return from a realm of fantasy leaves him stranded in a world that no longer feels like home. As he grapples with the disbelief of those around him, he clings to the fading echoes of his heroic past. But as reality closes in and doubts multiply, Ben is left with a chilling realization: perhaps he was never a hero at all.

Perfect for fans of Seanan McGuire and Madeline Claire Franklin, After Halastaesia is a complex imaging of life beyond a portal fantasy—a story not about the other world, but about figuring out what is real and what is imagined.
