The Unraveling of Emlyn DuLaine
by Lindsay A. Franklin
Emlyn DuLaine just wants to know what happened to her sister, Camille, 7 years ago on the fateful day she vanished--literally. Emlyn witnessed Camille unravel and disappear, but no one believes her. Since they think she's crazy, the least the cops could do is solve Camille's case. But Emlyn's life is upended when she is pulled through a portal into the fantasyland of her childhood imaginings: a magical library holding the storyworlds of every story ever published. And trouble is brewing in the land of Rivenlea. Rogue characters threaten their plot lines and broken classics are beginning to crumble, but Emlyn only wants to find Camille. As she searches for her sister, Emlyn begins to learn the reality of Rivenlea and her own origins. A nefarious plot is afoot, and the line between fact and fiction is becoming blurred. The truth threatens the storyworlds, Rivenlea, and Earth -- the fabric of creation, itself.
