Book 1: Beneath the Swirling Sky
Enter a universe where art is a portal to a new world, with adventure and danger lurking in every canvas.

Now, Vincent must rescue Lili and learn the truth about his calling.
Book 2: Between Flowers and Bones
Georgia and her cousin are both training to become Restorationists, but Vincent’s flashier Gift outshines hers. Then Vincent willingly steps into the heart of danger, and Georgia’s parents go missing. Does Georgia have what it takes to rescue her family, the art world, and save the ancient society of Restorationists from falling apart for good?
Book 3: Beyond the Far Horizon
Ravi may be free from a life of crime and captivity, but he still feels trapped.

Or will Ravi risk losing his chance of finding a forever home?
