Thousands of years ago, mythical creatures began vanishing from the Middle Kingdom. In a desperate attempt to preserve their existence, Chase’s ancestors recorded these creatures in the Book and the Map. During this process, they created a bubble universe, frozen in time, preserving the ancient stories of the mountains and seas. When Chase turns nine, he is chosen to be transported into this world, known simply as the World. His mission seems innocent enough: to restore the Map. But his journey takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Oliver, another boy from modern times.

Five years ago, I thought life was nothing short of a fairy tale. I had the love of my five mates and the future was looking so bright. Five years ago, I was an idiot. Now I know that life isn’t sunshine and rainbows. Now I know that life is full of lies, darkness, and blood. It only took my mates abandoning me without a word or a trace to open my eyes to the things I had previously ignored. When you are a rejected mate, you learn pretty quickly how people actually feel about you.
