The center of Gabriel Bell’s universe is his family and his best friend, Mitch. His biggest worry is his beloved grandmother’s failing health. But when a shimmery doorway appears - that no one else can see - Gabriel starts to wonder if it’s his own health he should be concerned about. And when his grandmother tells him she is descended from a long line of powerful seers from another universe, Gabriel has some doubts. With a supportive push from Mitch, Gabriel crosses through the shimmer and meets his uncle, a powerful visionary who reveals Gabriel’s status as a prophesied hero destined to save them all. He learns that the fabric between the four worlds on the other side - Antora, Dirasmus, Mirisa, and Finzion-Wharf - is crumbling, infiltrated by an evil darkness that he is meant to defeat. Somehow. Gabriel must battle through self-doubt and fear while balancing high school and the rigors of hero training. His partner on this quest is Sabithia, a kick-ass warrior who has been trained since birth to accompany him on this journey. Along the way Gabriel discovers that his powerful aunts and uncle have their own secret agendas for his mission. Fighting against secrets and lies, he must find a way to accept this quest and fulfill his destiny before everything goes black.

What would you risk to save a life? Jim’s fall break is supposed to be relaxing, not take him time-traveling again. And then he discovers something awful that will change his friend Hannah’s life back in 1838. Hannah Cooper has more than enough trouble. It’s bad enough that she has to do the heavy farm chores while her father is helping build a canal. It’s worse that she’s hiding a secret friendship with a poor Irish girl. When Jim shows up, he can’t tell her the truth: that Hannah’s father - an ancestor of his - is about to die in a fire. What can he do but stay close to Mr. Cooper and try to prevent the fire? Jim braves bone-chilling cold, giant draft horses, and rising tension between townsfolk and Irish immigrants. But all his efforts might be for nothing when someone else goes missing. What’s more important: the past or the future?
