Description

After a night of one-too-many pints, three friends stumble into a portal and vanish to another world. Johnny, the last to leap, arrives just 24 hours later – only to discover he’s a full year behind. Welcome to Rock: a fantastical, dysfunctional dimension where music isn’t just life – it’s a lethal, soul-stealing addiction.

Armed with sarcasm, a stolen jetpack, and questionable telepathic powers, Johnny sets off on a rescue mission across a world gone mad. Along the way, he tangles with flying vampire banshees, witches with a flair for Jane Austen cosplay, an undead Doctor Death, drag queens with royal secrets, and the Rock Gods themselves – musclebound megastars whose killer concerts are literally that.

As the world teeters on the edge of apocalyptic absurdity, Johnny must rally a ragtag rebellion of misfits, orphans, and glitter-slinging rebels for the ultimate showdown: A Battle of the Bands where the fate of an entire planet will be decided by pop songs, pride parades, and one very badly dressed king.

A riotous mix of Terry Pratchett-style satire, Douglas Adams-level absurdity, and classic rock nostalgia, The Keyholder’s Apprentice is al augh out loud comic fantasy about friendship, freedom, and fighting fascism with glitter.
