Side characters can be heroes too in this charming and fast-paced
adventure that is The Land of Stories meets The Phantom Tollbooth!
Indira has been a character-in-waiting her entire life. So she can't
believe her luck when she's finally chosen to travel to Fable and study
at the renowned Protagonist Preparatory, a school known for producing
the best heroes.
But Indira's dreams of achieving hero status don't exactly go as
planned. A failed audition lands her in the school's side-character
track, and her best efforts to prove advisors--famous characters like
Alice from Wonderland and Professor Darcy--wrong are constantly
sabotaged. Indira is starting to feel like an evil antagonist might be
to blame.
As the danger spreads, Indira discovers all of Fable is under siege.
With her friends Maxi and Phoenix by her side, she pieces together clues
that will reveal who is behind the dark magic threatening them all. But
the more Indira uncovers, the more doubt she feels about her place in
this world of stories. After all, can a side character really save the
day?
