Worldwielder

A long-lost friend. A cryptic message. A gateway to millions of worlds.

Melissa Mabrey isn't like other sixteen-year-olds. From the time she was four, she's been able to see the colors of people's minds, colors that reveal to her their true feelings, desires, and fears. She's only met one other person who's like her—her best friend Kyle. But two years ago, Kyle mysteriously disappeared, and she hasn't heard a word from him since. 

Until today. In a book carried by a stranger, Melissa finds a desperate plea for help from Kyle. Following his clues, she's hurtled from our world into the Gallery, a gateway to millions of worlds, each entered through a painting.

But for Melissa, there's nothing scarier than the unknown, and now she must traverse countless perilous worlds to find Kyle, fending off ruthless barbarians, the Gallery Guard, and her friend's captors. Along the way, she'll discover the truth about what she and Kyle are—a truth so terrifying her life will never be the same.

From debut author J.M. Vaughan comes this mind-bending work of fantasy, perfect for fans of Harry Potter and A Wrinkle in Time.
