Second Chances

Legends & Lattes meets Rollercoaster Tycoon in a Cozy Fantasy out to prove that the greatest power out there is joy. He must build the ultimate weapon of redemption: an amusement park. Luka was a genius weapons engineer on Earth, but his legacy was one of bombs, missiles, and shattered families. After dying alone and cold on a snowy park bench, he expected eternal punishment. Instead, the Goddess Tippy pulls him from the void. Luka is reborn in a magical new world where he is granted the unique powers to deconstruct, reshape, and meld raw materials. But his power comes with a catch—he is forbidden from making weapons, and can only create things that bring genuine happiness to the people around him. Determined to make up for his past, Luka lands in Emberwood: a bankrupt, declining mining village filled with orphans left behind by a tragic mine collapse. He realizes exactly what he needs to build to bring joy back to this community. He’s going to build the world's first-ever magical amusement park. Alongside a fiercely loyal green-skinned orc named Eve, her muscle-bound brother Franky, and their grumpy, taxidermy-raven-wearing aunt Sol, Luka begins to sculpt a kingdom of joy. From the bestselling author of Deepest Depths comes this heartwarming cozy fantasy tale that's like Rollercoaster Tycoon meets Legends & Lattes. Join Luka as he grows his settlement from a bankrupt village into a bustling hub of magical technology, all on a touching emotional journey about overcoming trauma, rebuilding a family, and learning to forgive yourself.
