The worlds we escape to.

Eighteen-year-old Aurora Lane lives in a sun-bleached trailer park at the edge of the New Mexico desert, where days blur together and nights are spent tracing constellations she'll never touch. Isolated, restless, and aching for something beyond the static of her own thoughts, Aurora finds escape in the only place that still feels infinite-the stars.

When she stumbles across the online phenomenon of reality shifting, a community claiming they can will themselves into other worlds, Aurora doesn't expect it to work. But one night, as she whispers the name that's been haunting her dreams- Seren.. she wakes up somewhere impossible: a world filled with castles, magic, and wonder straight out of her childhood fantasies.

At first, Seren feels like everything she's ever wanted-until she realizes she's no longer sure which world is real, and which is consuming her. The more she stays, the harder it becomes to return. And as Seren's beauty twists into something darker, Aurora must decide what she's truly searching for: escape... or a reason to stay.

A quiet, star-soaked journey about loneliness, illusion, and the light we fight to find within ourselves.
