With each ascent, she finds herself not just reaching higher shelves, but ascending into realms unseen: a vibrant land of ancient spirits, a desolate plane of forgotten gods, and the shimmering cities of the sky-folk. But Elara's accidental journey through these mythic planes quickly turns dangerous when a malevolent entity from a fractured world below seeks to claim the ladder's power for itself. Now, Elara must master the ladder's secrets and unite the disparate realms, or watch as all creation unravels from a single misplaced step.
