It’s summer vacation, and Ryan Davidson is a seventeen-year-old suburban teenager. When he accidentally stumbles into another world from inside his high school cafeteria, his reality is turned upside down and immediately thrown into peril. Friend or foe, enemy or ally, Ryan can never be sure of who to trust until the last pull to return home is just a withering flame of hope. The vile gothic city with its blood-red sky and terrible secrets are just the beginning of a dangerous and soon to be deadly journey that could end in absolute and utter annihilation of not just one world, but two.
