What began as a typical tempest at Avonside University becomes something far more sinister when the storm clouds part, revealing an impossible landscape. City lights vanish entirely, replaced by towering peaks and untamed wilderness that stretches beyond the campus boundaries. Elias experiences an even more startling change—wrenched from his companions and fundamentally transformed into someone unrecognizable. Now known as Ryn, she must navigate this strange, magic-laden realm with one burning question: can she reunite with her friends, or will she discover that Avonside itself has been consumed by the very forces that brought her here?
