A queer- literary fantasy about the stories that shape us—and what happens when we outgrow them. Hector Ramirez dreamed of changing the world with words. Years later- he’s given one last chance: to help reboot the fantasy series that shaped his childhood. But when he discovers the author has vanished into his own creation- Hector is pulled into a realm built from fiction and ruled by a story that refuses to end. He’s not alone. Along for the journey is Al- his nonbinary teen child searching for their place in both the real world and the story that now threatens to consume them. Alethea- once the series’ bright young mage heroine- also fights alongside them as a battle-worn warrior- questioning whether she still belongs to the story she was created to serve. Together- they must uncover the forces tearing this world apart and what it means to live inside a story that no longer wants you. As fiction and reality collide- Hector- Al- and Alethea face a painful truth: to move forward- they’ll have to confront the very story that made them.
