    Liam Walker believes in logic, structural calculations, and the honesty of concrete. An engineering student in London, his life is defined by the brutalist rigor of the Barbican and the looming deadline of his thesis. But reality has cracks that only he can see: invisible fissures radiating an energy that science cannot explain. When the veil between dimensions shatters, Liam is dragged into Ery-Al-Lysanth-a world where magic is a primal force and the darkness teems with nightmare creatures, ready to feast upon anything in their path. He is not alone. By his side is Alex, his best friend, who chose to plunge into the unknown rather than abandon him. Together, they are bound by a friendship that will now be tested by unimaginable forces. As Liam discovers his ability to mold the Nyth-the very essence of matter-he realizes he has fallen into the heart of an inevitable war. The dark and lethal Sisters are marching toward the Amber Capital to seize the only stable bridge between worlds. But why do they crave control of the gateways so desperately? What is their true interest in Ery-Al-Lysanth, and what are they willing to sacrifice to obtain it? In a journey where the laws of physics succumb to the power of will, Liam must find answers before both worlds are swallowed by the dark. The fate of two dimensions rests upon a structure on the verge of collapse. And the Sisters have already begun the demolition.

    Nathan Harris is eighteen, perfect grades and a "perfect" future already mapped out. Since his father died, a voice inside his head, the Noise, has followed him everywhere: through the school hallways, through the silences at home, in the eyes of those who want to help but do not know how. Nathan has learned to pretend. To smile. To look normal. But when an impossible anomaly tears him away from Earth, every mask falls apart. He wakes on Elaris, a world of elves and humans, ancient cities, twin moons, and mysterious stones capable of powering wonders that look like magic. Here, Nathan is a stranger with no name, no money, and no protection. To survive, he will have to rely on a charming rogue with a smile too easy and a past that he won't share, on a faith that worships Silence, and on people who, against all logic, begin to matter to him. But something dark is moving beneath the surface of that world. Poor and forgotten people are vanishing in silence. The entire royal family has been murdered with no evident weapon or killer. And as Nathan searches for a way home, he discovers that his way of seeing the world - science, logic, the ability to hear what others ignore - may be the only weapon against a power that thrives in the shadows. In a world waiting for a prophesied hero, Nathan does not want to save anyone. He only wants to survive. But sometimes the first step toward becoming a legend is choosing not to look away.
