Tom Taylor’s journey comes to an end
Tom Taylor is trying to find his way back to his friends, moving through a number of children’s stories. Even when he’s reunited with his storyteller father, Wilson Taylor, who by writing a popular fantasy series where the main character shared Tom’s name, pretty much gave him the abilities to move through all manner of works of fiction, and his friends, the world is in chaos, as the Leviathan, the source of all the stories in the world, is gravely wounded.
