Helcyon: The Ashen Knight - Paperback

Thirteen-year-old Bobby Porter is still reeling from his father's death when a glowing blue leaf grows into a towering maple tree overnight-and pulls him into the pages of his father's unfinished fantasy novel. He lands in Helcyon, a world buried in ash, ruled by an immortal tyrant, and shaped by sorrow. There, he meets Zenobia, a fierce thirteen-year-old warrior with divine strength and a desperate mission to save her father. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through cursed lands, haunted forests, and grief-soaked legends. But as Bobby ventures deeper, he begins to suspect this world isn't just a story-it's a map of trauma his father never finished escaping. And the longer Bobby stays, the more the line between fantasy and reality begins to fray. Now the story wants something from Bobby too.
