This one has no magic, but I threw it in because the setup is so close to reality with such a big twist that, for me, it fits.

The world changes completely for a family, and so suddenly, it’s as if they were transported somewhere else.

As Stan tells his story, from his origins as an Anatolian sheep farmer to his custody in a Toronto police interview room, he brings a wry, anachronistic…

When King Priam's pregnant daughter was fleeing the sack of Troy, Stan was there. When Jesus of Nazareth was beaten and crucified, Stan was there - one cross over. Stan has been a Hittite warrior, a Roman legionnaire, a mercenary for the caravans of the Silk Road and a Great War German grunt.
