Sofia is an ordinary schoolgirl living in a future Singapore where the population is divided into three social strata.

When she inadvertently unlocks the gateway to a new world, she realises she must escape the government’s radar.

She ventures into the lowest rung of society, the Voids, and meets with the eccentric Uncle Kirk and the resourceful Father Lang.

While on the run, she learns why her father disappeared seven years ago and why the new world exists in the first place.

Probing and thrilling, this novel explores worlds within worlds and reinvents the creation myth.
