It’s been ten years since Lia’s storyteller mother, Isolde, broke her promise to return from the Sinclaire house, but the echoes of Isolde’s sudden and unexplained disappearance ripple through every day of Lia’s life. A high school senior with dreams of studying art, Lia struggles not only to mend the fractures her mother’s absence created in her family, but to connect the fragments of fantastical folklore Isa left behind. One night, on the anniversary of Isolde’s vanishing, Lia’s draw to the Sinclaire house seeps from her dreams into reality. Unable to resist a trip inside, Lia’s search for answers quickly becomes an accidental portal to a world called Andridora, a place where lines of political loyalty have been drawn in blood. Adrift and pursued by Andridora’s police, Lia must team up with the mysterious councilman’s son, Alistair, in the hopes of staying alive and finding a way home. As family secrets unravel and long-sleeping powers wake, Lia must discover not only who she is, but decide who she will be.
