Ada is a quirky, seventeen-year-old senior trying to get through high school the only way she knows how - no drama, good grades, and lots of Shawarma, heavy on the garlic sauce. At least, that was the plan until she blacks out and starts seeing all sorts of disjointed visions. Ada's world is thrown into total chaos - or a "polycrisis" as her and her best friend Didi call it - when she discovers that her visions are part of a larger cosmos (like, literally) of events.

Produktbeschreibung
Ada is a quirky, seventeen-year-old senior trying to get through high school the only way she knows how - no drama, good grades, and lots of Shawarma, heavy on the garlic sauce. At least, that was the plan until she blacks out and starts seeing all sorts of disjointed visions. Ada's world is thrown into total chaos - or a "polycrisis" as her and her best friend Didi call it - when she discovers that her visions are part of a larger cosmos (like, literally) of events. She is shocked to learn that, ever since her mother was pregnant with her, an oppressive regime called the First Rank from the world of Unitas has been hunting her. They want something from Ada: a source of power she never knew she was born with. With the help of her ride-or-die, Didi; the enigmatic basketball star, Axel; the mysterious Winter, who is not all as she appears to be; and her all-time frenemy, Ellen, Ada must either take the fight straight to the First Rank or surrender her powers to save her loved ones. But decisions have consequences. And Ada's ultimate decision will alter worlds and destinies.

Autorenporträt
I am an immigrant kid who grew up between Lebanon and Canada. At some point - in my infinite wisdom - or lack thereof, I decided to go to law school and become a lawyer. Maybe it was personal ambition. Or maybe it was my Lebanese parents giving me three sole options in life: doctor, lawyer, or failure. It was a toss up.When I wasn't doodling or questioning my existence at my big boy law job desk, I was imagining worlds, their political structures and power struggles, heroes and antiheroes. Safe to say, that part - the serious suit and tie phase of my life didn't last long. Although, I must say, my suit and tie color palette combos were on point. So I started writing down these worlds and, like that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa puts a tooth in a Petri dish with cola and wakes up to it being a full-blown civilization, my worlds began taking on a life of their own. Even when I owned my own business afterwards, I'd find some time in the day to check in on my worlds so I could tell my kids another "chapter" for bedtime stories. P.S. The three of them were the first ever fans of Heirs of No Empire. The story was conceived for them.Half of me is an avid reader of history and political theory, the other half loves a good Sci-Fi novel, the other half is big into comics and the other half still loves 90's and 00s rap music (trust me, the math adds up).
