Leif & Thorn Volume 7: Golden Chains (PDF)

Leif has always assumed his country is the best in the world. Sure, the indentured-servitude system means he'll be working off a debt for the rest of his life, tied to strict limits on what he can say and do . . . but that's just how it goes sometimes!

Thorn thinks his boyfriend's situation is unjust, but there's not much he can do without causing an international incident. And hey, it's not like his own country is so perfect. Not with the pyramid schemes, and the spelltech scams, and the way his friend Kale is still recovering from the full-on corporate cult he used to work for.

Then a magical teenage alternate Thorn gets isekai'd into their reality, and nearly brings everything crashing down.

Can Thorn take care of his powerful-and-terrified kid self? Can Kale use his own magic to help, after having it locked up for years? And how many of the rules can Leif sidestep for them, without breaking?

A sparkly bilingual fantasy dramedy for teens & up.
