About this eBook

When Zoe and Tod reunite with Rock Man—now a homeless figure named Mac wandering the streets of their own world—the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to dissolve. Mac leads them to a teenage runaway who seems to be living in a symbolic world of her own making, filled with strange language and haunting memories. As Zoe and Tod try to help, they’re drawn into a deeper mystery of trauma, imagination, and healing. When a medical researcher searching for a human subject crosses their path, the stakes rise dangerously.

This story explores the blurred line between myth and madness, the risks of misunderstanding symbolic realities, and the power of empathy to bridge worlds. In the end, an uncanny twist suggests that the fantasy Zoe and Tod once lived may be more real than they ever imagined.
