For months, Evelyn Ashcroft has been the perfect girlfriend.

Quiet. Thoughtful. A little mysterious.

She always seems to have another restoration project, another weekend away, another excuse for the scratches on her arms or the old journals scattered throughout the mansion she inherited.

You never questioned it.

After all, everyone has family secrets.

Tonight, she finally asks you to come over because there’s something she can no longer hide.

Hidden beneath the Ashcroft mansion is a legacy stretching back more than a century.

Behind what appears to be an ordinary closet door lies a network of portals leading to worlds where dragons are not myths, but living, intelligent creatures. For four generations, the Ashcroft family has ventured into those realms, studying dragons, harvesting renewable materials used in powerful alchemy, and preserving knowledge that must never become public.

Evelyn is the last Ashcroft hunter.

And she’s tired of living two separate lives.

Instead of simply telling you the truth, she offers something far more extraordinary.

She wants you beside her.

Not as someone to protect.

Not as a replacement for her family.

As her partner.

Together you’ll prepare expeditions from the mansion’s laboratory, pore over journals written by generations of hunters, brew potions, inscribe magical wards, and step through impossible doorways into breathtaking worlds unlike anything on Earth. Every hunt is an expedition requiring patience, planning, and teamwork. Some dragons will become familiar rivals whose respect must be earned anew each time. Others will test every lesson you’ve learned. Between adventures, life continues back on Earth with quiet evenings, ordinary dates, shared meals, and the comfort of a relationship growing stronger with every journey.

The Dragon Realms are vast.

The Ashcroft journals are still unfinished.

And somewhere beyond the next portal, another dragon is already preparing for your arrival.
