A reluctant scribe. A demonic affliction. And a night that changed everything.
Sock is a scribe, not a sage. His biggest worries used to be his dead-end job at the Bane Vault of Archives and the heartbreaking reality of his wife Beebola's early-onset “demontia.” But that was before the night he slipped out for a quiet drink at the Inn of the Wedgeheaded Trull, which isn’t really an inn at all and more like a pub. That was the night he met Diabolus.
Scarred, paranoid, and babbling about "invisible strings" and being one of the "coysed," the stranger seemed like just another crazy outtatowner. Then Sock walked home, and the world… stretched. In an instant, he went from the cobblestones of his neighborhood to a sun-scorched arena, surrounded by jeering mobs of actual “mans”—a species that has been extinct on the Urt for two thousand years.
Diabolus wasn’t crazy. He was one of the Summoned. And now, so is Sock.
Yanked from one world to the next by a sadistic longbeard wizard named &Jello, Sock is forced to fight for his life against armored knights and cruel archers, all for the amusement of a bloodthirsty crowd. His only weapons are his wits, his rusty knowledge of the dead Mangleesh tongue, and a desperate will to get back to his ailing wife.
But surviving is only the beginning. Because when a demon goes poof from one world, the trouble he brings back with him is just getting started.
I Am Sock & We Was Summoned is the first book in a wildly original, darkly comic fantasy series. It’s a story of reluctant heroes, cosmic horror glimpsed through a pub window, and the unbreakable (if occasionally forgotten) bonds of family. Perfect for readers who like their fantasy with a side of existential dread and a working-class hero who just wants to be left alone.
A darkly comic fantasy where the only thing worse than being a demon is being a summoned demon.
Sock is a scribe, not a soldier. He spends his days copying manuscripts, his nights caring for his ailing wife, and his free time trying to avoid the creeping mediocrity of demonkind. He is, by his own admission, nobody special.
Then he meets a scarred, paranoid stranger in an inn that isn't really an inn. And his quiet life is violently, inexplicably, yanked apart.
Now Sock is one of the Summoned—a cursed few who can be pulled from their world without warning, dropped into gladiatorial arenas, and forced to fight for the amusement of ancient, arrogant sorcerers called mans. Armed with a stolen sword, a rusty grasp of a dead language, and a voice that won't stop narrating his own misfortune, Sock must survive long enough to uncover the truth about his curse.
But the truth is bigger than him. Bigger than his world. And it's coming whether he's ready or not.
The We Was Summoned series is a darkly comic, character-driven epic for readers who love reluctant heroes, existential dread, and fantasy with a working-class soul. Join Sock as he battles interdimensional wizards, befriends questionable goblins, and tries—desperately—to make it home in one piece.
