Matthew Kincaid fell asleep in the twenty-first century and woke in Nystria with a sword in his hand, a stranger's name on his tongue, and two lifetimes colliding in his skull. His college girlfriend Miriam is now Miri — sorceress, conspirator, and soon-to-be Queen. Their friends Tristan, Karla, and Milos are real. So is the magic. So is the danger.
But Nystria is not a game. Kings hang. Knights judge. Spies nest in port cities. Anarchists prowl the roads. From Fulham to Haven, from honeymoon politics to a coronation bought in blood, Matthias walks a knife-edge between revolution and tyranny, mercy and justice, the future he remembers and the realm that will not wait.
The has been cast. The adventure begins here.
A High Fantasy story from the pen of Michael Loucks!

The story moves very well after the first 3 chapters!

Kept me guessing all through the story, the first couple of chapters were slightly confusing, but after that it flowed very well. It also at the end set up perfectly for an additional sequel.

Disapointing

If you read the sample you might think this is a well written Isekai story. Unfortunately the story is overloaded with nonsensical plots, has the characters give in to every threat or demand and believe every promised reward
I honestly couldn't tell you how the book ends, I gave up before that.
The reader is, of course, entitled to their opinion, but given the first three sub-plots are exactly the opposite of this claim, I wonder how much of the book the reader actually read.
