16-year-old Ellis Mendoza just wants to get out of here. His mom died from "heart complications", and ever since, his dad wants nothing to do with him or his sibling, Avery. Ellis finds no point in school anymore--why should he? Learning that x=9 wouldn't stop him from messaging his mom when he knows he won't get a reply. So he drops it. His dad doesn't care if his grades go through the floor, and neither does he. But when he finds a sliver of stone that opens a door to L'an Avalia, where a grieving ruler enlists his help in finding her missing parents, he realizes there may have been more layers to his mom's death then he's being told. With the help of an assassin, a compass, and a couple dead puppets, three friends set out on an adventure to take down a powerful sorceress on the verge of self-destructing.
