With reality tearing at the seams, only a student with the power to manipulate space and time can save the world, in this mind-bending fantasy adventure.
When university student Rowan awakens in an alien forest far from Earth, he’s rescued from a near-deadly encounter and taken in by the noble Dawn family. Thrust into the mysterious realm of Erendel and gifted with a confounding new perception of reality, he fears he’s totally out of his depth. But the Dawns see potential in this displaced soul.
So they enroll Rowan in the Birkston Adventurer Academy, where he befriends a team of fellow misfit adventurers and is tutored in mastering his burgeoning control of time, space, and gravity. But in Erendel’s capital, Lyel—a city exploding with political rebellion—using his powers wisely is crucial. Not doing so, as he’ll learn, could be catastrophic . . .
Indeed, Rowan soon makes a horrifying discovery: His abilities are ripping holes in the fabric of reality itself. And his trials have only just begun. Against an unsettling landscape, as ancient prophecies unravel and monstrous entities emerge, he’ll have to conquer his powers before he accidentally destroys the world he’s recently started to call home.
