Every page you read draws you into a world made up of your dreams... or your fears.

When sixteen-year-old Eli finds a strange old book in the forgotten wing of a library, he doesn't just read a story—he disappears into it. The book has no title, no author, and its words seem to change with every glance. Eli soon finds himself trapped in a world shaped by his subconscious, where nothing is quite real, and escape may be impossible.

Meera, a researcher obsessed with the legend of a book capable of reshaping reality, has been tracking these disappearances for years. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that someone—an elusive, broken author named Kallen—is rearranging the book's pages to control not only imagination but the fabric of the real world as well.

Now, as dreams fade into reality and memory can no longer be trusted, Meera must join forces with others who have escaped the book's delusions—the Returned—to confront Kallen and the story that threatens to destroy them all.

But in a book where every desire is fulfilled and every fear is embodied, the greatest danger isn't getting lost in the story...

It's forgetting that you've always been real.
