The Crossingway
Strange things are happening to Howell. His mother disappears after a car crash in the mountains, and his uncle insists that only he, Howell, can find her. And what of the unknown Latino blind boy who rescues Howell from school bullies, the Haitian-Creole deaf girl stopping him from falling into a pit that magically appears in his bedroom, and the Native-American girl appearing in his town, accompanied by a large grey wolf? Howell’s uncle insists everything relates to Howell’s upcoming birthday and his need to journey through the Crossingway to complete the Transfer—whatever that is.

The Elder Tales
Maddie Scribble is a young girl with a problem: her best friend has disappeared without a trace, and no one else has even noticed. The worst part is that the only person that can help her is the one person that wants absolutely nothing to do with her, her older sister Lyla.
Meanwhile, fairy tale creatures and other mythological beings that really shouldn’t exist have started showing up everywhere and attacking people. Now it seems that the only hope the city has is a fairy that has lost her magic, a goblin with no concept of personal hygiene and two young sisters that can’t stand to be in the same room together.

The Escape
The start of our story begins in a place called Rebellion, found after the journey through the rough and troubled path of a teenager's mind. Fights. Parties. Supernatural appearances? Remel Brathwaite grows to be knowledgeable in almost each one of these fields and he's paved a way in which he can find no joy or success. Certainly, it seems as if he is journeying to a set end on a path with no alternative choices. Until one day... There is the appearance of a metaphorical light that calls him to do something meaningful; something that means more than the life that he lives within the inescapable pit which he has let himself fall into. Yet it seems, in line with all reason, that he has gone mad. Can this be a reality? Whilst his past-life disappears behind him, Remel is allowing himself to follow the words of a mystical stranger named 'King Keys' for the sake of change and revolution.
