The Axis Paradox

And the sky blinked back.

Jasper Redstone is a mystery-hunting teenager in the sleepy, two-stoplight town of Axis, Ontario. Almost every moment not spent doing mindless homework is spent in complete boredom, as sleepy towns tend to be, well, quite boring in his opinion.
So when Aspen and his two best friends, Penny and Kane, FINALLY get jobs at local stores, the three couldn't be happier, even if the manner in which the jobs opened up was... strange.

As strange books start appearing, animals and townsfolk start disappearing, and rune circles pop up in every field from here to Saskatchewan, they must put the pieces together under the natural ticking clock of a wildfire approaching Axis, counting down every second as smoke fills the air.
