Clarea has always felt out of place. While her family embraces the logic and prosperity of a society that has left its ancient magic behind, Clarea finds herself drawn again and again into the Spirit World.. a place where she feels more at home than she ever has in the living world. Until one day, a mysterious spirit tells her she has stayed too long. When his warning becomes reality, Clarea finds herself trapped between worlds, able to return to the physical realm only at dusk. As months turn into a year, she searches desperately for the spirit who may hold the answers to her imprisonment. But the world she returns to is no longer the one she left behind. A new king rules the realm, and he is not benevolent like the old Queen. Then, in a rundown tavern, a stranger speaks to Clarea. He is searching for the same spirit. With their goals unexpectedly intertwined, Clarea joins his journey, along with his two other companions, travelling across a kingdom on the brink of upheaval. And somewhere along the way, the distance between them begins to disappear. But finding the spirit may be the key to more than Clarea's freedom, and the fate of the kingdom may depend on whether they find him first... //NOTE: This project has an option for a unique listening experience, combining music to fit each chapter's vibe.
