Manipulated into committing a reality-warping crime using experimental technology, a romantic young painter searches for a way to stop his ruthless business partner from selling the very monstrosity he helped create—before the people he loves pay the price for his mistakes.Halfway through his senior year at Crossing University, freshly-dumped Arthur Bland is out of love and out of options. Heartbroken and plagued by strange nightmares, everything changes for Arthur when he is selected to receive a DeepGlass Curio—an experimental brain implant from the most powerful company in the world.Soon after, Arthur is invited to work on the Polaris project—a secret city hidden in a digital alternate reality, built by a rogue team of developers using Curio technology. At first, everything seems to go well: Arthur is good at the work, his mind is finally off of his ex, and he is quickly swept into a so-called "Starside" courtship with a mysterious young woman named Rebecca.Yet Arthur's best friend, Alena, begins to suspect that the Polaris project is not what it seems—and that Arthur's new girlfriend may not be who she claims.After a gruesome incident connected to the project shocks the school, Arthur and Alena find themselves in a race against time with deadly consequences. To survive, they must unravel the riddle of Polaris before it’s too late—and the city's dark secret changes reality as they know it forever. Read more
