The World Behind The Painting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231915170)

Malaika's life takes an unexpected turn when she's forced to leave her childhood home and move in with her mother's new husband. The shift in her world grows even darker when she stumbles upon eerie paintings of herself and her sister in her stepfather's home-paintings that seem to hold a sinister secret. When her sister suddenly disappears, Malaika begins to suspect the unthinkable: has her sister vanished into another world? Could her stepfather, a man wrapped in mystery, be a powerful mage with dangerous motives? Malaika is drawn into a dangerous journey to uncover the truth as the lines between reality and illusion blur. The answers lie behind the brushstrokes of a painting-one that may be holding her sister captive in a world of magic, mystery, and danger.
