Book Overview
Between the Five Realms and the world where miracles seem far less common, the only thing that remains is the thinness of a page.
Beely Rembree-Wren always knew her world was elegant, but she never expected it to be fragile. In the Realm of Pixanese, the wells are running dry-and it isn't just due to the heat. The power-hungry Ankur has begun a siege of the soul, illegally diverting the life-giving waters while systematically erasing "The Word" from every library in the Five Realms.
When the Truth is forgotten, the darkness moves in.
After Beely is captured and dragged into the abyss of the enemy, the fate of the realms falls to an unlikely group known as "The Twelve." Led by a germaphobic sniblet librarian and a mild-mannered scholar, they must navigate shifting sands and dodge winged monsters to protect the last remaining fragments of prophecy.
In this race against time, they will discover that their fight isn't just for survival-it's a battle to keep the light of an ancient hope from being extinguished forever.
