Inner World

 

A tale of friendship, courage, and a world just beyond the veil

In 1957 England, five friends dream of sticking together. But when Kathy is forced into finishing school, the dream begins to splinter.

Then comes the bridge. Locals whisper of strange disappearances beneath it—but none of the teens believe it… until Kathy runs toward the glowing lights beneath and vanishes.

She awakens in a world both beautiful and perilous—one ruled by ancient magic, roving Arcana clans, and a shadowy force named Threads who seeks to control her. As Kathy navigates this realm, she finds unlikely allies—including a sharp-witted traveler named Crall—and a kingdom on the brink of war.

When her friends follow through the bridge to find her, they are drawn into the same conflict. Guided by Grenwana, a powerful seer, and Mangnor, the king’s enigmatic feline artist, they journey to Ellandarre—only to discover the kingdom under siege and time running out.

Sixteen-year-old Nora Hale’s life is far from ordinary, but she doesn’t know it yet.

When eerie dreams reveal a mysterious woman shrouded in shadows, her world takes a dark turn. Attacked by a stranger who calls her a Dark One, Nora is thrust into a hidden realm of ancient magic and lurking danger. Rescued by the fierce Fire Wielder, Arianna Tarasova, she discovers a powerful magic within her heart-a force the ruthless Dark Wielders will stop at nothing to control. With enemies closing in and time slipping away, Nora must unlock her abilities, face a relentless foe, and prove her strength to the High Court.
