Everybody says that Hunter has a horrible sense of direction, not to mention that his lies are always over-the-top. He gets lost frequently and can be gone for days at a time, then suddenly reappear with another crazy story, like how he was being chased by a dragon around a desert island. Thing is, they aren't lies. Hunter is one of the rare few who have the ability to hop from world to world with next to no effort.
Years after Hunter gave up telling people what happens every time he vanishes, he has become a World Explorer for the IDWES (the Inter Dimensional World Explorer Society). He isn't famous, though. In fact, most world explorers don't even know of him. But he is one of the most efficient World Explorers out There.
After years of expecting the unexpected and keeping an eye out for anything that might be there, the last thing he expected to happen (though it was still on the list) happens soon after he finishes mapping an area. His thirteen-year-old niece Saffron runs into him, in the dark, otherworldly, monster infested forest he was mapping. And he can't bring her home, because she was cursed. And she can't tell him who did it.
What will happen to the pair?
