The Law of the Cracked Root

Theodora reads differently. She doesn’t flip through the pages — she passes through them.
In reality, Teya feels invisible, in books — free. Her secret seems secure until the boundaries between the worlds begin to crack.
An unsuccessful dive. A dagger from a book. An attack in the park. And a meeting with Bert — a guy who claims he can also dive into books.
He takes her to the Academy of Bookwalkers, where Teya realizes: hiding in stories is no less dangerous than living in her own.
Now she must choose — stay in the world where she is only a reader, or in one where she becomes the heroine herself.
