The Extremely Unofficial Guide to Lumin (and Love)

A King's Man Glossary

2025

Fantasy novels really should come with a glossary. After a head injury, Cale wakes up in the body of a suspected killer, inside the fantasy world of The King’s Man. He has no idea how magic works, what a vitalian is, or why his infuriatingly hot flatmate is now dressed like a cosplay war mage and hauling him toward trial and possible death by guillotine. Armed with nothing but sarcasm, charm, and a desperate need to understand what a lovelight is, Cale embarks on a crash course in surviving the kingdom of Lumin. His only hope? A mysterious Skeldar boy, a glossary of strange terms, and the sneaking suspicion that a certain love story isn’t quite finished yet. It’s a glossary. It’s a story. It’s a romance across lifetimes. And yes . . . It even has a happy ending. ~ ~ ~ This novella is a glossary companion to The King's Man. Best enjoyed before, after or alongside the main ride :)
