In a tranquil little village, where life seemed to have halted amidst gentle breezes and fields of golden rice, a group of children stumbled upon a mysterious truth beneath an old, worn slide. That day, after frolicking to their hearts' content, they inadvertently fell asleep, only to awaken in a world where everything seemed altered. The slide was not merely an inanimate object; it acted like a key unlocking a door between two worlds: the dream world they entered during their sleep, and the reality they lived in. The story continues as Michael, the most courageous and curious of the group, decides not to give up his desire to uncover the truth, propelling everyone into a journey of discovering the village's secrets and their own identities.

Set in a village seemingly forgotten by time, a minor change occurring after a nap under that old slide had profound consequences. Michael's story and his friends' is not just a nostalgic adventure to childhood, but also a journey of facing and uncovering themselves. Each dream, each step they take slowly reveals pieces of the past-elements they didn't even realize they had forgotten.

Each return to the old slide made them feel the imbalance between two worlds: dream and reality, memory and oblivion. Then, in the fleeting moments between night and day, light and darkness, reality and illusion, a significant secret gradually unveils, challenging the limits of their minds and hearts. Michael and his friends must confront the question: Do we truly understand ourselves, and is the price of truth worth paying?

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

Aetheria, a land once vibrant with magic, now lies in the grip of a darkness that refuses to fade. The war that ravaged its lands left scars too deep to heal and secrets too dangerous to reveal. The magical society, once the guardians of hope, withdrew into the shadows, sealing their world away from the mundane, leaving the ruins to fester in silence. But silence breeds fear, and fear breeds nightmares. In the ordinary world, four unsuspecting individuals are about to be dragged into a reality they can barely comprehend. They carry the blood of Aetheria, a cursed inheritance that binds them to a fate they cannot escape. As the barriers between their world and Aetheria weaken, they are thrust into a dark and twisted reality where nothing is as it seems. Mishaps plague their every step; hardship becomes their constant companion. They struggle to accept the horrors unfolding around them, questioning their sanity as the lines between reality and nightmare blur.

The gateway to Aetheria is opening, and with it comes a storm of chaos and fear. The four must confront the darkness within and without, facing battles they are ill-prepared for, in a world where trust is a luxury and survival is never guaranteed.
