Seventeen-year-old Lia Corvine supports her fracturing family, no matter the cost. It’s irrelevant that her father's absence eats away at her false smiles and reassurances, that insecurities plague her mind. Lia’s only reprieve is writing stories with her grandfather, where she can escape as a ranger to a floating kingdom with roguish Prince Kayce.

But everything crumbles when her grandfather suddenly passes away. As grief unleashes her barely-bound anxiety, it also unlocks Lia's slumbering magic–and drags Kayce into our reality.

However, when barriers fray and dreams come true, so do nightmares. Monsters lurk in the streets. Envious societies hunger for power. And Lia finds herself in the center of a nefarious plot. With ancient orders governing the magic her family never told her about, it seems her grandfather's death was no accident. Only Lia can retrace his steps for answers. But even with Kayce by her side, can Lia embrace who she's only allowed herself to be in fantasy?

For her kingdom's sake, she must face the darkness within and without…before there are no stories left to tell.
