Elodie Underbridge and August Appleby are two college students from Falsewater Valley, South Dakota, who have been almost inseparable since childhood. When Elodie returns from summer camp, and the two spend time together again, all seems well until August receives some unsettling news from whom she believes is her best friend.

In reality, a demon by the name of Roh has taken Elodie’s form and travelled to Earth to use August in his sinister plans. So, where is Elodie? She’s stuck in the other world—a world already feeling the effects of demonic machinations.

Now, the two friends must overcome challenges, including their own limitations, to save not just their world but also the unfamiliar realm of Basinhelm. Will they emerge from the shadows as heroes, or will they succumb to the forces of darkness that seek to tear them apart?’ In her mesmerising debut, Young Adult Fantasy author Victoria Marie Smith weaves a tale of friendship, deception and courage.

Join Elodie and August on a heart-pounding journey across worlds where trust is fragile, and danger lurks in every shadow. Will they find the strength to defeat Roh and restore balance to both worlds?.
