Vladimir Victorious

Summary

What if your imaginary friend was real, and they've been waiting for you to remember them?

When twelve-year-old Lucy Washington escapes her orphanage to find Washington Manor, she discovers she's not just an orphan, she's the last heir to Fantoria, a hidden world where imaginary friends are very real and waiting to be remembered.

But Fantoria is dying. The connection between worlds has been severed by Heartless, a guardian who chose logic over love after being betrayed by the children he swore to protect. Now Lucy must find Vladimir, a lost prince split between worlds, and convince him to help heal the wound that's killing both Fantoria and Earth.

Armed with nothing but a golden key, a head full of stories, and the stubborn belief that broken things can still be beautiful, Lucy crosses into a world where imagination is real and love is the most dangerous magic of all.

Written by JQ Sirls, this middle-grade fantasy brings the magic of childhood imagination to life in a story about choosing connection over fear, and believing that broken things can still be beautiful.
