Sparrow and the Dagger

Seventeen-year-old Aes has always lived in quiet, forgettable Horizon Banks, Nebrask, until strangers appear, the streets start to vanish, and a girl he barely knows tries to stab him with a dagger.

Turns out, Aes’s life isn’t just boring—it’s not even real.

Trapped in a hidden magical cycle, Aes is bound by a powerful spell to Trea, a girl with a dark legacy and a dangerous past they may have shared. As dreams blur into memories and their world begins to collapse, Aes must uncover the truth, confront a forgotten war, and stop a powerful sorcerer before the illusion shatters completely.

But breaking the cycle may cost him everything, including the one person he’s most connected to.

Sparrow and the Dagger is a mind-bending YA portal fantasy about love, memory, and breaking free from the stories written for us.
