Every realm has its secrets. And these are Likalsta's.
Eselle and her allies won the day in Realm of Secrets, but did you ever wonder how she began spying for her brother in the first place? Or how much Kyr actually knew while Eselle was rescuing Cristar from his clutches? And just whose blood was that in the prologue, Daalok's or the baby's? These are the tales of Pocket Realms, a collection of short stories about the characters in Realm of Secrets that for one reason or another couldn't be told in the novel (Can you say "spoilers?"). "First Steps" is an original story about Eselle's first mission, while "Two Sides to Every Story" is an alternate chapter of the pivotal rescue scene in Realm of Secrets told through Kyr's perspective, and "Can't Escape the Past" is an extended version of the Prologue, revealing everything that happened after Daalok found the blood.
