Mina Vale is a nursery nurse. She knows how to handle tantrums, snack time, glitter disasters, broken bananas, and children who bite when they are tired.
Then the sky rains gold, her phone starts speaking in a child's voice, and Mina falls through a portal into another world.
Her new workplace is a magical cottage in a forest. Her first student is a wounded wolf. Then comes a dramatic lion, a thieving dragon, an exhausted bear, and a very offended unicorn who refuses to step in mud.
They are not pets.
They are not even children.
They are ancient rulers from five powerful clans, trapped in beast form by war, trauma, and a prophecy no one seems willing to explain properly. Mina has no magic training, no staff handbook, no emergency contacts, and absolutely no patience for royal nonsense.
So she does what she knows.
She makes a timetable.
She sets rules.
She hands out milk, snacks, blankets, consequences, and care.
But in the Five Lands, healing milk is worth kingdoms, old enemies still sharpen their claws, and a human teacher with impossible instincts may be more dangerous than any crown.
As more wounded children arrive at Hearthroot Nursery, Mina realises the prophecy was never asking for a warrior.
It was asking for someone who could make the beasts sit down together at circle time.
