Send two trans women, their nervous cis coworker, and a doctor from a rural medical office through a portal into a fantasy world. Throw in some missing children. Give them a prophecy no one understands. See who makes it home.
In Willet's Rest, strange things have always known how to hide in ordinary places.
Cambria Hawkins spends her days answering phones at Kellis Family Medicine, trying not to want too much from life. Baylee-Ann Cavins has made an art of being louder than her fear. And Erin Sutton has survived enough to know that protecting the ones she loves matters above all else.
Then children begin seeing things they shouldn't, and doors open to impossible lands.
Beyond Willet's Rest lies Felafontia: a place of broken roads, hungry forests, and old gods. The land is ruled by a darkness that has worn many faces, and seeks its final form.
Cambria is not a warrior. Baylee-Ann is not a chosen hero. Erin is not a legend. But to get home, the women must follow a road that seems to know their fears before they do, and the farther they travel, the clearer it becomes that some doors do not open by accident.
