For Skylar, the past year has destroyed the life she once knew. After moving to Philadelphia with her newly-divorced mother, she feels more alone than ever. Every day, she counts down the hours until she can reunite with the one bright spot in her life: ScreenTree-a social, video-sharing platform that houses a spectrum of creative personalities and network of worldwide friends. But when gifted with a mysterious download, Skylar is plunged into a hidden world, The Realm-where she finds a new, unexpected perspective on her beloved "creators" and friends. Tasked with a three-day journey to The Realm's capital, guided by the famed yet eccentric Eli Sharp, she discovers the world she idolizes has a dark side she never expected... and the ones she knows best have secrets too. When all is finally revealed, she must search within herself and choose the world she truly belongs: Reality or "The Realm". ------- **This is a demo for one of my upcoming stories. I will only be posting four chapters here for feedback on my exposition. I plan to post the actual story sometime in 2020-so stay tuned!**
