Fourteen-year-old Marisol Reyes escapes into fantasy to survive a reality that feels to a small, too dull, and too rigid. Her father's favorite comic series, The Enchanted Witch Seraphina, had been her lifeline after he passed- a world of magic, adventure, and heroes that made her feel alive. But when her mother threatens her with a strict "Reality Check Summer Camp" for being "too lost in her own world," Marisol's careful balance begins to crumble. A simple school project, a misplaced snake, and a mysterious owl lead her into a hidden portal- and she's transported to the dangerous, unpredictable Boiling Isles. There, she meets Isadora Virel, a lying witch with a dark past, and Kairo, a small demon who claims he was once a king. Survival comes with rules, magic comes with danger, and friendships are tested. And the deeper Marisol falls into this world, the harder it becomes to leave. In the Boiling Isles, love can be just as dangerous as power- and some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
