Description
When four ancient statues slip out of their boringum museum under the cover of night, they have one goal: to go home, back to the empire they were taken from centuries ago. But the world outside isn’t the one they remember. This one is brokenus.
With human costumes, fading memories and a few dubious Latin phrases, the statues set off on a wildly funny quest to discover where they truly belong.
Part adventure, part satire and entirely heart-warming, The Returnus is a story about identity and the meaning of home.
