On the night of his 21st birthday, Faber’s biggest worry should’ve been a hangover. Instead, a girl with lavender hair drags him through a series of impossible portals and into a world he was never meant to see.

Polaris rejects him instantly.
Jenna’s mother calls him an Unwanted.
And the magic itself tries to throw him back.

When Faber crashes onto the floor of the UNCG library, one truth hits harder than the fall:

He doesn’t belong on Earth…
but Polaris doesn’t want him either.

If you love found family, slow‑burn tension, and star‑touched worlds, start the journey here.
