Description
Plagued by the daily tortures of living in an abusive home and haunted by the mystery surrounding her adoption, Iliana tries to focus as her final exams loom. However, everything she knows is put into question when a dark creature appears in her town of Walkers Fall, and tries to kill her.
Iliana is then whisked away into the Otherworld, where faeries guard gates to other domains, a mad queen reigns and wild bandits roam freely. Iliana finds herself chased continuously by an unknown enemy in a foreign world, and is forced to trust no one yet question everything she knows about herself.
Realising she finally has a chance to find her real family, she seeks them out. But will the truth she’s yearned for so long offer closure, or unfold an existence paved with strife?
Her inheritance, Iliana may find, could cost more than anything she’s ever endured.

Fine science fiction that stokes the imagination. I would gladly check out another title by this author.

This book is a crazy good read from start to finish, it's a great start to a new series with great characters and an unforgettable ending.

Thank you #NetGalley for this #ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an interesting one for me.
I had a lot of trouble identifying with the main characters, or following the plot, due to the writing style. This happens sometimes - not every author is for everyone. I finished the book, but it did not hold my interest and I struggled to make it through. There is very impressive world building, and a lot of well done inter-woven plot lines that had a fascinating tie up at the end. I would be interested in reading the next book in this series to find out what happens. After some research I found out that this book was self edited and published, which is super cool. Not reading this critically, I would have given it an extra star, but for book review purposes, this would be a solid 3/5 for me.
