When their very first tour goes wrong, Frankie sets out to rescue her parents—accompanied by Earth’s first (and most annoying) interworld immigrant, Jord Mathison. But a transport malfunction hurtles them into the wrong world, where a deposed prince wears Jord’s face. To the prince, Frankie’s last name is a curse: his world is dying, and Frankie’s family is at fault.
As a breadcrumb trail of conspiracies leads Frankie toward her parents, she’s sure Jord knows more than he’s willing to admit. If she can’t root out the truth, she’ll be stuck forever—and if the inhabitants get their way, she’ll burn with their world.
