The Story

Raib is a seemingly ordinary 15-year-old schoolgirl who has kept one impossible secret since childhood: she can disappear by covering her face with her hands. Her life looks normal from the outside—family, school, friends, and two cats—but that balance starts to break when strange events force her secret into the open.

As Raib’s power grows and other unusual abilities emerge around her, she becomes entangled with Ali and Seli, classmates who also hide extraordinary gifts. Their discoveries lead them away from ordinary school life and into a larger reality involving hidden worlds, clans, and people who know more about Raib than she does.

The story follows their movement from everyday teenage life into a parallel-world adventure filled with mystery, danger, new places, and conflicts that suggest a wider struggle is coming. The book ends in a way that pushes the trio deeper into the series’ larger questions rather than closing everything off.
