Fifteen-year-old Cyrene Hale's life has lived down to the most ordinary details . She's the quiet sort of girl who would never, in her whole life, be pictured as the publicly adored athlete, the graceful and perfect dancer or the coordinated cheerleader. Oh, no. She never had the skills for that. She vowed that she would forever stay in her grand, old town, and that she was no traveler. The boundaries she set up in her life remained perfectly balanced. Until one day, on a normal, same old weekday, her life changes forever. A mystery brings her to the land of perplexities. Emotions clash, heartbreaks felt, and adventures discovered. Who would've thought that collected, old Cy could conjure up her own voyage in a parallel time of the universe? Well, not her, that's for sure.
