|| 2024 AMBY FANTASY FAVOURITE | ×5 FEATURED || When the ever-skittish, homesick, twelve-year old Fralith accidentally-on-purpose stops a kidnapping, no one knows what to think--especially Fralith. Newly stranded on a planet not his own through a misdirected HomeKin portal, where MetalEaters roar and people stand around staring at rectangles, Fralith struggles to puzzle out rules of the world before he gets eaten. But not all things in this new world are out to get him, and some are even trying to save him. When a flame--haired man begins to teach him the ways of the new world, Fralith starts to realize that there might be hope, healing, and home on this planet.
