The Displaced
When the world changed, no one saw it coming. One moment, satellites mapped the skies; the next, the stars themselves were gone. In a single instant, every nation, every city, every soldier of Earth vanished-reborn beneath alien constellations in a realm of dragons, immortal kings, and forgotten gods. Steel met sorcery. Gunfire echoed through lands that had never known thunder. Now, armies of men find themselves standing on the borders of empires older than history. Diplomats face monarchs who rule by divine right, scientists struggle to explain magic that laughs at physics, and generals must decide whether to conquer, ally... or simply survive. As new wars ignite and ancient prophecies awaken, humanity must answer a single question: Are we the intruders in this world-or its salvation?
