About this listen

Ten-year-old Elara’s world is one of familiar comforts: the taste of wild strawberries, the scent of rain on dry earth, and the secret, rustling room inside the ancient willow tree in her garden. But when a mysterious, musical whisper leads her to a hidden knot on the trunk, she discovers a shimmering doorway to a world she never knew existed.

Beyond the portal lies Lumina, a land bathed in the light of two suns, with silver-barked trees, glowing moss, and streams that fizz on the tongue. Here she meets Lyren, a boy with dragonfly wings and starlight in his eyes, who becomes her guide and friend in this magical realm. But Elara is more than just a visitor; she is a bridge between the two worlds, and her presence begins to thin the veil that separates them.

As the colors, sounds, and scents of their homes begin to bleed into one another, a terrifying shadow emerges—the Un-thing, a void that consumes all light and life. To save everything she loves, Elara, along with Lyren and a band of unlikely friends, must embark on a perilous quest to rebalance the worlds before the encroaching darkness devours them both. It is a journey that will test her courage and force her to discover that the greatest magic lies not in choosing a home, but in embracing the harmony of being a child of two worlds.
