Synopsis: From the back cover of the AvoNova first edition: There is a twisted mirror-America somewhere past the boundaries of our dimension - where the Darkling conjurors do battle with dreams for possession of the ultimate prize: the world of men. On a journey across the Arizona desert, the Etchison family ceased to exist - only to be returned to their fragile reality through the courage of young Theo Etchison, Truthsayer. Now the tides of the universe have shifted - reshaping and distorting a mortal world coveted by the warring dragon-children of the Darkling King Strang. And once again, Theo is drawn into Strang's terrifying dimension - to play King's fool on a bizarre odyssey across an inverted land... and to rescue his own brother, seduced by the demon forces of darkness, from the hell that has claimed him.
