For years, Aiden has been told he is nothing. Thin, hungry, and hated for his whitish-blue hair, he survives by burying every painful memory in a black hole deep inside his mind.
Then a masked stranger says, You're coming with me.
One humming metal cube and one horseless carriage later, Aiden is swept into the Magic Kingdom: a place of vine-covered skyscrapers, wand-wielding citizens in blue and black capes, and bossy talking alarm clocks. Devils stalk the night here, and sorcerers rise to stop them. No one calls him blue head. Instead, he is offered a choice: stay and become someone, or go back and forget it all.
To claim his weapon, Aiden must grip a glowing glass rod and reach for his happiest memory: a sunlit spring walk through the woods, a small hand in each parent's, one perfect afternoon when his family still felt whole. What answers him is a sword no one has wielded since the legendary Great First.
But power isn't the same as belonging. Between rivals who want him humbled, friends who see past his silence, a girl who makes him want to be brave, and a forbidden map that vanishes from a dusty detention room, Aiden begins to suspect the kingdom's secrets run deeper than its walls, and that the blade that chose him is the greatest secret of all.
Some heroes are forged in fire. His heart is made of glass: clear, brave, and so easily shattered.
