You've been accused of murder.

Your only alibi ... is a dragon?

Falling asleep in math class (definitely not aware of you whatsoever) is Eve, a plucky introvert plotting to gain school notoriety and get over her inconvenient crush on the mean girl.

Lurking in clandestine dimensions (probably watching you this very minute) is an evil overlord plotting to enslave humanity and launch the universe into apocalyptic doom.

The two should never have met. But an ancient dragon looking to save Earth and its many dimensions (yeah, it turns out string theory is a very real thing) from destruction has other plans. Saving the world never comes easy, and Eve's life gets increasingly complicated as she carries out the dragon's tasks while coping with anxiety, school pressures, family secrets, and, finally, the curious death of a classmate.

This first fantasy coming-of-age thriller in the twisty Eve Archer series joins the fates of unlikely friends in a humorous, electrifying tale of simmering self-discovery with nods to astrophysics, mental health, and tight sister bonds, all while proving things are never, EVER as they seem.
