The Song of Ithoria

The night before high school graduation, Alina and Gwen find themselves on opposite sides of a friendship that's been built on years of shared memories and secrets. Alina is terrified of growing up and wishes she could stay a teenager forever. Gwen can't wait to leave for college across the country, eager to start a new chapter of her life. A huge fight tears them apart, and it feels like everything they once had might be lost forever.

But the night isn't over yet.

When the two reconnect, they decide to do something they've always dreamed of: take one last childhood adventure. Armed with nothing but their shared history and a car packed with snacks, they set out for Lake Ithoria, a mysterious place hidden deep in the woods-one steeped in legends and stories told by their parents. There, they will meet a siren, a creature who forces them to confront their greatest fears, their broken bond, and the future they've been running from.

In a race against time, Alina and Gwen must face the truths they've been avoiding-and discover that growing up doesn't have to mean leaving each other behind.

*Lake Ithoria* is a heartfelt, magical adventure about the ties that bind us, the power of friendship, and the courage it takes to embrace change. The perfect read for anyone who's ever feared growing up... or wondered if it's ever too late to reconnect with the people who matter most.
