Description
Set in January 1986, this gripping tale follows fifteen-year-old mathematical prodigy Nick Hayes, whose life is upended by a devastating diagnosis just as reality begins to echo the fantasy world of his Dungeons & Dragons campaign. With a mysterious, knife-wielding stranger pursuing him and impossible events unfolding around him, Nick must solve a baffling mystery and protect someone he cares about before time runs out. Blending coming-of-age drama, friendship, tabletop fantasy, and mind-bending science fiction, the story explores mortality, courage, and the fragile boundary between imagination and reality. Tense, atmospheric, and emotionally powerful, it delivers a richly drawn portrait of 1980s London in a fast-paced, compact novel.
