Echoes between Worlds, book 1
She poured her soul into a painting and tore open a world she never knew existed.
At Vassler’s Art Academy, Dahlia Abbott keeps her head down and her imagination alive, clinging to the fading memory of a mother who vanished without a trace. But when one defiant painting opens a door to a world where art is outlawed and creators vanish, Dahlia is pulled into a struggle far beyond anything she’s known.
There, she is found by the Echoes. As she finds her place among them, Dahlia realizes that hiding has never kept anyone safe. To honor what she believes in, and who she truly is, she’ll have to risk everything to help a world afraid of its own imagination.
Will she remain the girl who hides behind the canvas, or become the artist this world has been waiting for?
