Essie the Troll has had enough.

Tired of her rowdy brothers and their messy, chaotic life in the hollow, she finally walks away in search of something better — a place she can truly call her own.

When a sudden storm leaves her stranded in the woods, Essie meets Nigel, a gentle vampire with dreams of becoming a chef. Together they take shelter in an abandoned dungeon… only to discover they’re not alone.

Soon, Essie finds herself surrounded by an unlikely group of new friends: a fashionable medusa with a passion for dresses, a pair of mischievous sprites, a surprisingly kind minotaur, and even a very sleepy dragon. As they work together to turn the dusty old dungeon into a warm, welcoming home filled with laughter, good food, and genuine care, Essie begins to realize that family isn’t always the one you’re born into — sometimes it’s the one you choose.

But peace doesn’t last forever.

When a dangerous band of adventurers sets its sights on the dungeon, Essie and her found family must come together to protect the only home they’ve ever truly loved.

A heartwarming cozy fantasy about found family, second chances, and the courage to build the life you deserve.
