I lead an ordinary life where nothing ever happens to me. Or so I thought before a mysterious illness turns my life upside down. An illness that defies all medical explanations. I get strange visions. Visions of a mysterious world that shouldn’t exist. So, I try to hide it, and no one knows but my best friend Evelyn. It’s curse, really, or maybe a gift. I’m not sure yet. Until I get a vision so powerful, it shatters my world in an instant. Now, I’m trapped in a world of magic. One with secret societies, dangers I’ve never encountered before, and an evil I never knew existed. My life spirals into chaos, magic, and threats from the sinister forces that hunt me. I’m learning the hard way that there’s no escaping this new life. But I’m sure as hell going to try. Recommended for mature readers as this book contains strong language and violence.
