He is a teenager who "has everything" in our world but suddenly loses it all when he accidentally falls into a hellish parallel timeline called the Makia Veil. There, Makia's lethal elite, the Archaemenes, relentlessly hunt Nate, because the truth of his arrival is a truth they'll stop at nothing to conceal.Along this metaphysical quest, Kenya, a flamenco dancer with big dreams of fame joins Nate. Her humble Makian background and aspirations are a sharp contrast with Nate's former celebrity life. The novel draws on the epic spirit of His Dark Materials, The Neverending Story and the spiritual journey of Raya and the Last Dragon.
