What if the world holds more dangers--and more wonders--than we have
ever known? And what if there is more than one world? From Heather
Dixon, author of the acclaimed Entwined, comes a brilliantly conceived
adventure that sweeps us from the inner workings of our souls to the far
reaches of our imaginations.
Jonathan is perfectly ordinary. But then--as every good adventure
begins--the king swoops into port, and Jonathan and his father are
enlisted to find the cure to a deadly plague. Jonathan discovers that
he's a prodigy at working with a new chemical called fantillium, which
creates shared hallucinations--or illusions. And just like that,
Jonathan is knocked off his path. Through richly developed parallel
worlds, vivid action, a healthy dose of humor, and gorgeous writing,
Heather Dixon spins a story that calls to mind The Night Circus and
Pixar movies, but is wholly its own.
