17 parts Ongoing MatureAleeya Grant is no stranger to being an outsider. As the only Black student in an all-white school, she's used to the whispers, the stares, and the constant need to prove herself. But when her private betrayal-a one-time mistake that ended her relationship with her loving boyfriend-becomes public knowledge, the whispers turn to full-blown bullying. Labeled a cheater and ridiculed at every turn, Aleeya finds herself the school's number one target, with no one to turn to.
Desperate for an escape from her harsh reality, Aleeya clings to a rare comic book gifted to her by her kingpin father. Within its pages, a world of heroes, danger, and adventure-until the impossible happens.
The characters from the comic come to life. To them, it's not fiction; their battles, secrets, and desires are as real as Aleeya's pain. Among them is Taareq, the comic's brooding and enigmatic protagonist. Though unaware of his origins, Taareq brings with him an unshakable presence that becomes Aleeya's anchor amidst the chaos happening in her life.
But as the boundary between her world and the comic's begins to blur, Aleeya discovers that their meeting is no coincidence. The events that follow will force her to confront the truths she's tried to escape, the mistakes she's made, and a connection between worlds that could change everything.
