Jake is the firstborn in his family, and he is about to undertake the challenge of a lifetime. Along with fifty other 'first-born' students, he must take Feldspar Academy's mysterious exit exam. 

He will have to design a new world; full of wonder and promise, where the only limit will be his imagination. 

The pressure is crippling; he alone holds power over where his family and friends will live out the rest of their lives. If he fails, then everyone who he has ever loved will be doomed to try and survive his creation, whether it is finished or not.

Please be advised that this is a fast-paced novel, with a plot that spans many realms.

Cali shrugged. 'It's not like we have time to pin up a sign, Jake. Get your head in the game.'
