A woman with glowing crystal and a man stand in a dark, gnarled forest under a large red moon with glowing magic trails.

Chloe was never meant to be ordinary. Born beneath a blood moon in a hidden forest cave, her first laugh sparked light-and her mother's final breath. Her father swore to raise her in secret, to bury her magic deep where no one could find it. But magic refuses to stay buried. On her sixteenth birthday, Chloe's powers ignite, drawing the attention of creatures that shouldn't exist and a shapeshifting demon with unfinished business. When a mysterious amulet appears-and a betrayal tears open a portal-Chloe and Jace, the boy with the wolf's eyes and his own dangerous secrets, are hurled into realms beyond imagining. Realms where forests breathe, oceans whisper, and shadows wear familiar faces. As a cursed game begins to steal children-including Chloe's little brother-the race to survive becomes a quest to save every world from a darkness older than time. Thirteen gates must be crossed.
