The Ghost of the Wicked Crow

By Scott R Welvaert
The Ghost of the Wicked Crow by Scott R Welvaert digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Immerse yourself in the psychedelic, mind-bending, and multiversal realm of the Infiniuum where travelers can stitch into an infinite array of alternate universes and worlds!

In the multiverse, anything you can imagine exists somewhere. It's just a matter of finding it.

Seventeen-year-old Ian Wilder's heart belonged to one person-his next-door neighbor, bestie, and steady girlfriend, Penelope Archer. To him, their hearts matched like the last two puzzle pieces across an infinite jigsaw universe.

Since grade school, they spent every free moment in the outgrown treehouse adjoining their yards. There, under the dull glow of dying flashlights, Ian scribbled the words, and Penelope painted the worlds from their imagination. From western shootouts with kooky outlaws or surviving a horde of alien zombies aboard a space station, their stories poured to the pages more vividly than suburban reality.

But junior year hit harder. Their stories took a back seat to make out sessions under the sleeping bags of that old treehouse. And as these two puzzle pieces came closer to completing the universe, something changed. Tragedy struck. Unable to cope, Ian cracked and succumbed to a walking state of catatonia.

When Ian finally returned to school, a strange substitute teacher cornered him to tell Ian that infinite realities exist across a multiverse. Stranger yet, the substitute teacher desperately needed Ian's help to prevent a similar tragedy in an alternate reality filled with blood-thirsty pirates.

Did Ian finally lose his mind? Or had he let his ridiculous imagination take over for him? Either way, he didn't care. It was an adventure, and if this was the last sign of his sanity slip away, so be it.

Would Ian be able to solve his problems with the multiverse at his fingertips? Or would it fracture his psyche and family beyond repair?

The Lost Zenith series is best enjoyed in order.
