I was just a cop on my beat when the world ended. My last memory was of an alien death ray ripping me from existence. When I woke up in a strange world, I should have just laid low.

Only problem is that makes enemies—demigods with the power to bind the magically gifted women of Timeria to their will.

I was only 27 and I already felt like my life was over. Then I fell asleep in statistics class and all hell broke loose. I've been summoned to a world completely unlike my own.
