Strong-willed and full of quiet hope, Leo dreams of a world beyond the one he’s known—a world of hidden magic, unseen connections, and rifts that lead to realms filled with powerful relics and dangerous creatures. But in his reality, there’s only the grind of an impoverished city, where he works the fields alongside his older brother—a clever, defiant thief he trusts more than anyone.
Their father does what he can to keep them afloat, but a secret he’s carried for years is starting to unravel. It’s only a matter of time before the truth catches up with them.
For Leo, escape seems possible at last. A job as a bookbinder offers him a future beyond the farm, and with his birthday approaching, he hopes to earn an apprenticeship with the prestigious Bookbinding Guild. It feels like the beginning of something better.
But everything changes in an instant—when his brother steals something that was never meant to be touched.
