Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen

When Pennsylvania state trooper Calvin Morrison is swept into a parallel universe by a freak accident, he finds himself in a world where gunpowder is the key to power—and its production is tightly controlled by a ruthless theocracy known as Styphon’s House.

While stranded in the Princedom of Hostigos, a small territory on the brink of obliteration, Calvin must use his understanding of modern chemistry and warfare to help the people of this new world fight for their freedom. Armed with his wits and newfound allies, Calvin attempts to defy tradition, break Styphon's monopoly on “fireseed” and become “Lord Kalvan.” But in the process, he attracts the attention of the Paratime Police, the dreaded enforcers of order across countless timelines.

As Hostigos rises against overwhelming odds, Kalvan must navigate perilous alliances, deadly battles, and the clash of civilizations. Can he rewrite the destiny of a world that was never meant to be his?
