Marcus Sahanni has spent years lost in the rhythm of smoky dive bars and half-empty clubs, his saxophone singing to an audience that barely listens. Alongside his closest friends—Devon, the steady-handed cellist; Sahid, the sharp-tongued trumpet player; and Selina, the punk-loving drummer—he’s played the same circuits, fought the same uphill battles, and watched dream after dream fade under the weight of overdue bills and broken promises.
But when a sharply dressed stranger walks into their bar with an offer too good to be true, everything changes.
The proposal? A contract to perform in another world—Equestria. A land of wonder, magic, and most importantly, a hunger for music. The Equestrian Crown is offering free lodging, real gold as payment, and a chance to be among the first human musicians to bridge the gap between two cultures.
It’s an opportunity beyond their wildest dreams. But is it worth the risk?
As the quartet prepares to leave behind the only life they’ve known, they can’t help but wonder—will they just be an alien novelty, a passing fascination in a world not their own? Or is this their shot at something more—fame, fortune, and perhaps even a home in a place they never imagined?
One thing is certain: the next time Marcus picks up his saxophone, he won’t just be playing for survival.
He’ll be playing for a new beginning.
