A splintered world, a heart gone cold.
Hope reborn in threads of gold.
After accidentally bridging the storyworlds together, Emlyn DuLaine faces an impossible task: sever the connections without destroying the stories themselves. If she fails, the characters will be trapped in twisted versions of their tales, forced to relive their worst moments forever.
But undoing the bridges is only the beginning. To truly fix what’sbunraveling, Emlyn must uncover the secret flaw buried deep in Rivenlea’sbfoundation, something that’s been wrong since the very start.
And the danger has never been closer to home. The clock is ticking for the injured wyvern who needs Rivenlite air to survive and the story boy Emlyn swore she’d never fall for. Emlyn and her team must rescue Frank and Laramie from chaotic, shifting story spheres before they’re gone for good.
But Frank and Laramie aren’t the only ones lost to the spheres. Camille DuLaine is a prisoner, held as bait by someone who knows exactly how to lure her sister in. After seven years of sleep, Camille wakes to find herself trapped in a storybook and sure of only one thing: Emlyn must stay far, faraway.
Racing to solve one mind-bending puzzle after the next, Emlyn uncovers a plan seventeen years in the making. She stands at the center of a fractured universe—and she might be too late to save it.

A Guest Post by Emlyn DuLaine, the Newest Member of Novem XVII
I haven’t been a Novemite long, and if you want advice from an absolute expert, you’ll have to ask Captain Doyle or maybe Laramie, if you can manage to push your way past the cloud of ego that surrounds him at all times.
But I’ve been diving into upside-down classics, wrangling rogue characters, bridging broken plots, and saving story spheres long enough to give some helpful pointers on how to keep your wits about you when you, too, traverse the fantastical, fictional universes we all know and love.
Read on for my hard-won wisdom.
- Never accept apples from anyone. Ever. Even if they promise it’s organic and locally sourced. Just don’t.
- If a book starts whispering, close it immediately. This is not the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Cursed tomes are not to be trifled with.
- Stay away from unattended spinning wheels and mirrors that look a little too shiny. Exercise caution around wardrobe-shaped furniture. Odds are high you’re about to be enchanted, imprisoned, or transported. Stay vigilant.
- Beware of overly charming men in masks, hoods, and/or capes. It’s 50/50 on whether he’s a tragic hero or a villain with a vendetta. Proceed with caution.
- Always check the fine print on magical contracts. If the terms include “firstborn child” or an unspecified “favor” to be later named, run.
- Characters who break into song at random intervals are either harmless or extremely dangerous. If they’re just narrating their morning routine, you’re fine. If the music gets ominous, assume the worst.
- If you find yourself in the company of a talking animal sidekick, always ask for its backstory. Talking cats may be friend or foe, sometimes both if it starts telling riddles. Grumpy toads are probably cursed nobles. Overdramatic ravens are almost always bad news.
- When in doubt, follow the protagonist—but not too closely. The main character has plot armor. You do not.
If you’re hoping for a fairy-tale ending, these tips might get you there. Stay safe, friends. And happy sphere-diving!
MY REVIEW
This will definitely be a great story for fantasy fans. It has breathtaking scenes, wonderful characters and scenes that scream adventure. I enjoyed getting to know the characters especially Camille and Emlyn. There are times I found myself so involved in the story that I lost track of time. I was late for an appointment but it was worth it. Yes the book is very engaging and has adventure that keeps the story intriguing.
For readers who like fantasy with imaginary worlds and exciting unexpected characters, you need to grab a copy of this book. The imagination of the author shines in this story but it is light on faith elements. The best part for me was traveling to different places and exploring how fantasy comes alive in the mind of an exceptional author.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
