In a world run by vibes and glitter, one leprechaun demands a return to reality—one coin at a time.
The enchanted Realm of Everlush has ditched its gold-backed economy in favor of a new currency: VibeCoin, a sparkle-powered system based on good feelings, brunch energy, and aggressive optimism. Wages are emotional. Wealth is subjective. And unicorns run the treasury.
Enter Seamus McShimmer—a stubborn, sarcastic leprechaun with a vault full of gold, a badger named Phil, and absolutely no patience for fiscal fantasy. When the system collapses under its own sparkle, Seamus accidentally becomes the face of a political uprising to bring back real value.
But reforming a magical economy isn’t so easy. Especially when it means facing glitter-wielding pixie politicians, enchanted public hearings, flying propaganda, and the wrath of influencers who literally weaponize joy.
Can Seamus make the Realm clink again—before it collapses under the weight of its own good intentions?
A satirical romp through magical politics, media spectacle, and monetary madness,
In Gold We Trust is for anyone who’s ever questioned the cost of good vibes.
