Four washed-up adults. One magical binding contract. Zero exit clauses. The Selection Institute's recruitment poster was three sentences long: new career, competitive stipend, full benefits. Nobody mentioned the weed-out dungeons, the body count, or the Auditor-Commander who administers the contract with the patience of a man who has seen recruits fail before and found it deeply acceptable. Thorgar's left knee grinds. Arthur's divine connection cuts to static when the pressure spikes. Elyndra can't read a target closer than thirty feet without her bifocal combat goggles. Wick's hands shake until the clockwork holds steady for him. They are, by any formal assessment, terrible candidates for a dungeon career. The Charter doesn't care. Wry, propulsive, and packed with found-family-forged-in-the-worst-possible-place energy, The Enrollment Clause is the first book in an adult dungeon-fantasy series where the monsters are the easy part. It's the paperwork that gets you killed.
