The Forgotten Museum – The Seal-Keeper of London (vol. I)

From bike courier to magician – a legacy that could cost him everything

Life is far from easy for Liam. After growing up in humble circumstances, he’s now barely keeping his head above water by working as a bike courier in London. But while he’s delivering a package to a private museum, he witnesses a robbery. There’s nothing he can do for the dying museum curator, but before the man dies, he presses a strange symbol in black ink into Liam’s skin – making him the museum’s unexpected new seal-keeper.

Liam is suddenly catapulted into the world of a mysterious museum network operating internationally to safely store magical artifacts that could be used to channel dangerous forces. But the museums are threatened by a deadly enemy, and it quickly becomes clear that Liam’s own past is closely linked to the events that are unfolding.
