Maddox Corso, Ancient Mytica- Maddox is torn between his own grave troubles and those of a stranger when he's visited by the spirit of Becca, a strange girl from another world.

Crystal Hatcher and her little sister, Becca, are working in their mother's bookshop in downtown Toronto when they receive an unexpected delivery- a large leather-bound book written in an unrecognizable language. Becca opens it and falls into a deep coma that sends her spirit to another world. On the ritzier side of town, the elusive leader of a powerful secret society invites an aimless heir name Farrell Grayson to join his inner circle. Farrell seizes the chance to prove his worth to his parents - no matter how much he has to sacrifice. And worlds away in Mytica, a young commoner named Maddox Corso meets a pretty stranger from a faraway land who desperately needs his help. Her name is Becca Hatcher, and when Maddox realizes he's the only one who can see her, their meeting feels like much more than chance . . . .
