Outcast Elf in London

Fred swallows a portal pill to escape his father’s oppressive regime and comes down in The Rock Tavern.

Another magical immigrant takes him under his wing and helps him make sense of the human world.

His physical strength once marked him as an outcast among the elves, yet human women notice it quickly; he falls for the barmaid, other women draw his eye, and some are happy to share him.

Intimacy with human women passes on not only Fred’s own powers but also those of other magical humanoids he has encountered, and he trains his girlfriends to wield them for combat and pleasure.

Those bonds stir a strange, intoxicating power and a desperate urge to use it, even while he remains neither free nor happy.

When one girlfriend disappears, Fred realizes he cannot leave his past behind and will have to become the hero his future requires.
