Owen Walsh has always hated people, so being trapped on an island with dozens of other young adults should be his personal hell.
Add a sadistic scientist running mysterious experiments, and Owen's misanthropy seems entirely justified.
But as he gains magical abilities and gathers an unlikely family of alien allies, he discovers that Dr. Harrigan's island is just the beginning of a plan that threatens multiple realities. The first book in a series that subverts isekai expectations with genuine heart beneath the cynicism.
