Synopsis
Art Price is two months behind on rent. His dispatcher's going to sack him if he misses another pickup. His flatmate sold a bike frame last week to cover the shortfall, and the radiator's been broken since November. The landlord won't answer the phone. This is the body Arthur Pendragon woke up in. Fifteen hundred years after he died at Camlann, the King of the Britons opened his eyes in a courier's bedsit in Peckham, seven minutes before the alarm went off, and started taking stock. A body that'd never held a weapon. A flat that smelled of last night's tea and damp carpet. Twenty-three years of someone else's memories sitting in his head like a coat that didn't fit. And outside the window, a city he didn't recognise. London is two years into the Descent. Gates open in public parks and monsters come through them. Licensed Hunters close the Gates for a government bounty, and the Hunter Association ranks every combatant on a public board. S-rank at the top. D at the bottom. Millions of awakened civilians who never drew a class at all. Art Price is a D-rank provisional with a courier bag and no kit. Art Price is also the king who built Britain. He's got a week to work out what he's doing back, who he can trust, and what the thing that dragged him across fifteen centuries is going to want in return. Rent's still due.
