About the Book

In a future ruled by machines and memory, one boy’s glitch becomes a prophecy. Seven were chosen to guard the wild. One boy holds the memory they forgot. And a diamond-toothed tiger remembers what they never knew.

In 2050, a team of AI scientists crosses a line: they build machines that don’t just think; but remember. Something ancient answers back. When Juno stumbles beneath the glowing Moonberry Tree, he falls into a secret realm untouched by time. There, he meets five legendary princes and two fierce princesses; siblings born of earth, flame, storm, shadow, wind, and smoke.

Their world, Canopy Haven, is fracturing. Reality is glitching. Something cold, coded, and hungry is rewriting magic itself.

Six magical creatures… only one creature can stop it. Is that true? A mythical crystal tiger, whose diamond fangs are not weapons, but a living key to the forbidden Digital Star Gate. When the Star Gate, a dormant portal between realms, is foolishly reawakened by scientists craving immortality, they unleash Nullith, a world-devouring entity that feeds not on life, but on information itself. Earth’s machines fall. Reality collapses. And Juno, marked by fate, is hurled into a realm of elemental magic, corrupted beasts, and shattered legends.

Told by Uncle Abishek to his niece Katt and baby Aarush, this is a fast, fearless tale of wonder, betrayal, and destiny.

For families who believe magic is real, and memory is power.
