About this ebook

“What was this place? Was I crazy? Or was I crazy before, back in L.A.? Was my real life some sort of dream? Was this hell reality?”

Austin Lively is a struggling, disillusioned screenwriter whose life is suddenly changed forever when he opens a door and is unwittingly transported to a fantastical medieval realm. Austin finds himself wielding a bloody dagger while standing over a very beautiful and very dead woman. Bewildered and confused, he is seized by castle guards and thrown in a dungeon. Just when he begins to fear the worst, he is suddenly transported back to reality in LA.

Did that really just happened? Has he gone insane? Was it all a dream? Did he have a brain tumor? Desperate for answers, he sets out to find them and discovers that the mystery can only be unlocked by a strange piece of fiction that holds the truth about the magical kingdom. But he isn’t the only person searching for the missing manuscript, and his rivals will stop at nothing to get it first. To complicate matters more, Austin soon discovers that he has no control over when he passes between worlds and finds himself out of trust for even the simple things, like walking through doorways.

Stuck between dual realities –charged for a murder he doesn’t recall in one and running from a maniacal billionaire who’s determined to kill him in another– Austin’s monotonous life has become an epic adventure of magic, murder, and political intrigue in both the New Republic of Galiana and the streets of Los Angeles California.

    This book reminds me of Neil Gaiman’s book Neverwhere, which is one of my favorite books. It has a great mix of comedy and surprise. It does a great job of luring you in with the mystery and intrigue, while giving you enough information to figure out the little twist at the end. I would highly recommend this book. 10/10

    While I am pretty sure there is more Game of Thrones influence in this one than the author would admit, I appreciated the appeal to the western influences, sticking with the crime genre, and spiritual grounding of the worldbuilding. Austin is fun, relatable, sympathetic character and I am eager for book 2.

    Too much foul language. Sorry, Andrew but that ruined it for me.

    Andre Klavan takes his skill as a suspense writer to spin this captivating yarn. The protagonist, Austin Lively a struggling screenwriter, is stuck between two realities. From his non-eventful life in L.A. to a murder suspect in a fantastical medieval realm. He must reconcile the fact that he is stuck between dual realities that will have real consequence for his life in both realities. Mr. Klavan's writing weaves a tale that will keep you interested. The audio book is well read by Michael Knowles.
