Clare is a conflicted high school senior who escapes her life through daydreams and her live-action role-playing campaign called Sun Age. With adulthood just around the corner, Clare doesn’t know what to do and hopes life will hand her a future. But her lack of hope could have a more devastating effect than she knows on her world and other worlds outside of her own. While out in the park during her campaign in full medieval ranger costume, Clare wishes more than ever that she could have the power to understand her future and accidently falls into a magical world called Revary. It is being destroyed from the inside out by a mysterious corruption and decay that dements the people and causes their world to vanish and rot. Clare learns that only a person from her world, Earth, can save the strange world by using her imagination and fulfilling plans for a brighter future—creating Revary through hope and dreams. Realizing she must name her own future to save them, Clare takes up the task of traveling back and forth between worlds to save the magic. Encountering everything from orcish centaurs and black witches to jewel-seeking sky pirates and obnoxious oracles, Clare and her friends use fantasy-gaming knowledge to save Earth and Revary, realizing they are all a part of a single story within a story.

Someone has to play the villain...With the world saved and sacrifices made, it was time for the earthlings-turned-heroes to return home from Revary to fight their own battles. If only life’s darkest hours could be fought with the roll of a dice. After tragedy struck the group, Clare and Lance—now parents—fled to England to hide and put their sorrow behind them. But life isn’t all Clare wants it to be. Trapped in a job of her own making, she struggles to please her wealthy clients and find joy in her work. Struggling to communicate her trials to her increasingly aloof husband, she longs to go back to where she had power to control her destiny… Not all is well in Revary. A dark force from outside the boundaries of the magic world has penetrated its kingdoms, enslaving Revary and its inhabitants. When Clare returns, she allies with the new evil, hungry for the power to create a new role for herself and distract herself from everyday life. The only thing that stands in her way is another earthling who is rallying Revary against her. Desperate to protect herself from more hurt, Clare is willing to sacrifice anything—and anyone—to make her wishes come true.PRAISE FOR “When I dove into Revary, I was swept away by the relatable characters and intriguing plot.”“A well-written, spirited adventure…”"What a great way to be transported to another world for a while!
