Leonie Gervil is eighteen. She has multicolored eyes, an awkward, bony frame, and sticking-out ears. Oh yes—she’s an orphan, and she has absolutely nothing to lose. Because there’s nothing truly hers.
But one day Leonie realizes: something very important binds her to fire. It’s stronger than the unexplained fear and curiosity. Stronger than the desire to become an artist in a fire show. Stronger than the sudden love that flared up.
And that means there will be a journey into a mysterious world. A giant tower—Jenga—its blocks stacked out of elements. And a secret of fires that suddenly engulfed the world of people… A magical fantasy by the author of horrors and psychological thrillers.
An atypical heroine who absolutely doesn’t want to be a hero.
A journey through the “rooms” of the magic tower, where you can encounter a frozen icy world, a deep lake, or the mouth of a volcano. The universe of the book is like a game: build the tower and pull the cubes… The price of victory is the death of two worlds. Is it worth dying for a world you never belonged to?
A book for those who feel like an outsider in this world and want to find their place.
