About
Cody and Ashley survive the crash. They may not survive the islands—where visions can be touched, reality bends, and survival means trusting the impossible.
Book 1: Cody wasn’t trying to escape the world—just his troubles at home. But when the plane goes down over the South Pacific, escape turns into survival.
Stranded on a chain of abandoned tropical islands, Cody and three other survivors must learn fast how to stay alive. There’s no rescue in sight. No adults. No second chances. Food, water, shelter—everything has to be earned, improvised, or fought for. Every day brings new dangers, and every mistake could be their last.
Ashley never wanted a tropical adventure either. What looks like paradise quickly reveals itself as a brutal test of endurance. Sunburn replaces comfort. Hunger replaces fear. And survival means making impossible choices before exhaustion makes them for you.
But the islands hold secrets far stranger than sharp rocks or empty stomachs.
Something is wrong.
Cody and Ashley begin to see things that shouldn’t exist—objects, places, and visions that don’t belong on any map. Stranger still, these visions aren’t just tricks of the mind. They can be touched. Used. Trusted… or feared.
As reality bends and the line between what’s real and what shouldn’t be begins to blur, the group must decide whether the islands are helping them—or testing them.
Because surviving the crash may be the easy part.
Surviving what comes after could change them forever.
