Gracie Fellows is sixteen, dyslexic, and running out of places to hide.At school she’s bullied without mercy. At home her mother’s new boyfriend Seth watches her with cold, calculating eyes—his control tightening like a noose. Then the pendant her long-absent father gave her flares to life and drags her into Limskada—a savage, dying fae realm where the land itself is tearing apart.A silver-haired mage named Temerin and a sarcastic talking cat called Quinn insist she’s the one foretold: the girl who can read the unreadable runes, wield the lost Callisvaan relics, and stop the darkness that is creeping across the world.Gracie doesn’t feel like a chosen one. She feels like the same failing, frightened girl who can’t spell her way out of an exam.Talked into brutal training—magic, runes, swordplay—she’s thrown together with two princes who are everything she’s not: Dara, dutiful and scarred by duty; Tavian, reckless and dangerously charming. One wants her dead. The other might want more than she’s ready to give.Every step deeper into Limskada brings new horrors: cursed rivers, sirens, a dragon! Every trial is meant to break her.But the worst monster never crossed worlds with her.Seth is still out there.And he’s coming—for her, for Tommy, for everyone she has left.Two worlds.One girl who never asked to save either of them.Some predators have wings and fire.Some just wear a smile and call themselves family.

"This novel offers escapism and adventure alongside the reality of a teenager’s journey of self – discovery, as she faces the challenges of life: learning to find her voice and become a resilient individual. “What was broken may yet be re-written – I murmur”. An excellent, must read and I look forward to the next instalment in the trilogy."Eluned Pickup – Senior Teaching Fellow University of Southampton – Deputy Head Teacher (Pastoral and Behaviour lead)"It is written from a very deep understanding and response to the world of the young today who in their post Covid development need to create, need to feel, need to identify and belong.This is a powerful start to what promises to be a compulsive trilogy."Stewart McGill – Consultant Director - Playbox Theatre"It’s a true page-turner that will resonate with any young reader who has ever doodled in the margins of a notebook and wondered if those drawings might hold more power than anyone realised. I was captivated by the characterisation and the plot—and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!"Sophie Knock – DSH, PCH, R.S Hom, Adv Prac BFVEA, BAFEP, BA Hons
