A boy wakes up in a mysterious castle with no memory except his name. The rooms are always changing and time has lost all meaning. Reoccurring dreams hint at his forgotten past while he tries to navigate this strange new world. As more people appear, and the castle begins to reveal its secrets, he starts to see behind the veil, wondering at the hidden mechanisms driving existence around him.
A girl walks away from her childhood home, leaving her life--and reality--behind. She meets a strange creature and inadvertently breaks the foundation of existence, setting out to find the end to all endings. Her adventure leads her past the edges of time and into the void itself, where possibility is permission and her life can be anything she wants it to be.
A boy follows a fox into the woods and his world changes forever--past and future tangling into a convoluted web. He rediscovers his greatest friend, but loses everything he's ever known, lost and wandering in a waking dream.
When reality fractures and time turns back on itself, can they find a way to put the pieces back together, or is life just better this way?

Hogwarts: The Eldritch Ascent I: The Gearwork Horror and the Hidden Chamber
Undated notes, found tucked within the pages of "Hogwarts: A History". "Do you believe you are reading a mere fairy tale? A story of the Boy Who Lived, of lightning-shaped scars, of a clear line drawn between Good and Evil? Wake up. This year, Hogwarts plays host to an uninvited shadow. He did not arrive from Platform 9 ¾ by ordinary means. He stepped out from the fissures of forgotten dreams. Tristan-is it a name, or a warning? When the Sorting Hat touched his brow, it saw neither the bravery of Gryffindor nor the cunning of Slytherin. It saw an abyss. It saw a chessboard where the pieces move of their own accord. He gazes through ancient stone walls, sees the pulsing veins of the castle, and hears the whispers of the Basilisk slithering in the dark. He is not here to play the hero saving the damsel. He is here to rewrite the rules. Trust not what you see. Trust not the scripted plot. For when 'The Observer' opens his eyes, reality begins to fracture. The play has begun, but the playwright has been replaced."Complete
