❝Earth is overrated.❞ Taya is an interesting girl. She was an A-plus student, she liked art and painting, she actually enjoyed school, she liked to party here and there, that is until the death of her best friend changed everything. She finds herself going down in an endless spiral of college partying and alcohol, her grades down, she missed class, and has slept with a high amount of guys. Who would've thought that a violin could change her life forever, and bring her to a world filled with things beyond imagination: Monsters, creatures of all sorts, the Devil (and his son), and Zander, who is the Time Keeper's son. Together, she and Zander travel to the 5 main dimensions in hopes of finding the shards, combining them will make the Wish Star, which will allow Taya to go back to Earth, where she belongs. But the Devil is plotting something against the Time Keeper and all he needs is the violin.

After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community. They have my gratitude. The blurb was written with some help from @RowanCarver and I am thankful for her feedbacks.
