Search for Senna
Synopsis
David's life is ordinary: school, friends, a girlfriend. The one unusual part of it is Senna, who is beautiful and smart and, in ways he cannot name, different from everyone else he knows.
Then, in a single moment, the ground opens and takes her. David hears her screams fade into the distance. He will not leave her, and neither will the others, a group made up of his friends and hers. They follow her down.
They arrive in Everworld, a place that should not exist, where creatures that should not exist are real. Dreams and nightmares are both alive here, and many of them are deadly. None of the group could have pictured it.
Their goal is clear: find Senna and get home. The cost of failing is spelled out as well, since they could lose their lives, their minds, or both. This is a fantasy adventure that begins in a normal modern life and drops its characters into danger almost at once, with a fast start and a threatening tone.
