Locked away in a pocket dimension all her life, Valeria Lochlear’s world comes crashing down when the man who killed her mother finds her at last. Hunted by otherworldly monsters, Valeria and her twin sister must escape the only life they’ve ever known. Thrown into the real world for the first time, she cannot let the dark man who has been hunting her all her life find her again, even though all the mysteries surrounding her past lead right to him.
To find out what really happened 18 years ago, Valeria must infiltrate the last place her mother was seen alive; the Hollow, an ancient organization within the ruins of mountain city. Going undercover, she must track down the dark secret lost within—an impassible labyrinth somewhere inside and the portal between worlds hidden at its base.
Harnessing the ability to portal into any room in existence, Valeria must become the greatest thief in the world, to steal back the object her mother died to protect, the Lost Aether Compass. A primordial key capable of taking you on a path between dimensions to access the true heart of magic, where any desire can be wished into existence. Leading her on a chase across dimensions and unleashing a chain of events that will rewrite the fabric of time and space. Discovering the reason why this man has been hunting her all her life, all while uncovering a plot that puts her mother at the center of it all.
With mystery, romance, humor, and ride-or-die friendships in a fast paced fantasy setting, Valeria must raid crypts and underground tunnels to find an ancient labyrinth and race across dimensions to the true heart of magic. To find out what really happened to her mother and seize the power inside before it can bring about the end of the world.
