THE KEYHOLDER'S APPRENTICE
Teleportation. Telepathy. Sabre rattling duels in corsets. Just another day on planet Rock.
After a night of one-too-many pints, three friends stumble into a portal and vanish to another world. Johnny, the last to leap, arrives just 24 hours later?only to discover he's a full year behind. Welcome to Rock: a fantastical, dysfunctional dimension where music isn't just life?it's a lethal, soul-stealing addiction.
Armed with sarcasm, a stolen jetpack, and questionable telepathic powers, Johnny sets off on a rescue mission across a world gone mad. Along the way, he tangles with flying vampire banshees, witches with a flair for Jane Austen cosplay, an undead Doctor Death, drag queens with royal secrets, and the Rock Gods themselves?musclebound megastars whose killer concerts are literally that.
As the world teeters on the edge of apocalyptic absurdity, Johnny must rally a ragtag rebellion of misfits, orphans, and glitter-slinging rebels for the ultimate showdown: a Battle of the Bands where the fate of an entire planet will be decided by pop songs, pride parades, and one very badly dressed king.
A riotous mix of Terry Pratchett-style satire, Douglas Adams-level absurdity, and classic rock nostalgia, The Keyholder's Apprentice is a laugh-out-loud comic fantasy about friendship, freedom, and fighting fascism with glitter.
