When his father disappears, Dax faces every living nightmare to find him.

Dax Candeland is navigating another difficult day at school, where no one shows enough consideration for his dislike of contractions or his obsession with numbers. One thought sustains him: it's his sixteenth birthday, and he will celebrate it with his father.

Alone, the two of them enjoy their meal and a special understanding–until Dax visits the bathroom, where the sinister clown from a poster comes alive, making him both fear and doubt reality.

Back outside, the world has changed beyond recognition, and his father has gone. So begins Dax's quest to find his father and learn why he vanished in the first place.

In this new world, Dax meets gargoyles, monsters, witches and giants–but why do they bear a strange resemblance to the people in his life? His tendency to overthink and obsession with details become his greatest advantage as he is forced to solve riddle after riddle to advance his search.

Yet the closer he gets to solving the mystery, the more dangerous the creatures in this new world become. All Dax knows is that he must find his father quickly–before the search kills him for real.

Reality proves far scarier than Dax’s worst nightmare.

Dax is now seventeen and in a secure psychiatric unit. But he can't understand why his mother and sister have stopped visiting him.
Does his dad's demise have something to do with it?

At least his sister's imaginary figmentstill visits, though she believes it's time for some tough love to help Dax recover. She attempts to prove that his demons can't come alive in the real world, even if summoned. Against Dax's wishes, she draws on paper the strongest demon, the clown, in front of him.

The clown springs to life, a self-proclaimed born-again angel, and warns that Dax's mum is in great danger. So begins Dax's second
adventure–to find his mum before the clown does.

Chinwe holds the key to the secrets of the universe in her mind. But is it safe to share them?

At twenty, ChinweCandeland is already one of the world's most accomplished particle physicists.
But her determination to enable time travel in the multiverse might have more
to do with wishing she had dealt differently with her brother...

Burdened by a Dax who exists only in her imagination, she starts to believe he is not just a manifestation of her guilt. What if he is a spiritual guide come to warn her that time travel could be exploited for sinister purposes?

When a clown from another universe haunts her nightmares, Chinwe must stop the demon before he uses her work to destroy the world.

If only she can conquer her own doubts and tell friend from foe before it's too late...
