An angry, bitter amputee.
An optimist losing her eyesight.
A dying kid.
A suicidal thief.
Four people with nothing in common but their destination.
Despite having narrowly escaped death's clutches, Christopher Barlow is grateful for nothing. His capacity to love has been crushed. He hates everyone and everything, completely unable to see past the gray stain of misery that coats his perception of the world. It's only after he involuntarily joins a band of depressed misfits who are struggling to overcome their own problems, does Christopher start to re-evaluate his lot in life.
What could they possibly learn from one another? How could they possibly help each other to heal? And the question that Christopher asks himself over and over again...can he learn to love again?
He's about to find out as he embarks upon a cross country trip with a beautiful woman who is going blind, a boy with terminal cancer, and an abuse victim who can't decide whether she wants to live or die.
They will encounter adventure, thrills, loss, and love.
And within their travels they will learn the greatest lesson of all.
The hard truth about sunshine...

Welcome to the Kingdom of Rosandria, a place where dreams can come true... if you are born into the right family.
Paracelsus is a lowly farmer's son who dreams of becoming a Master Storyteller and dazzle listeners with glorious tales of adventure.
But crisis comes to Rosandria. Paracelsus finds himself being shoved into ill-fitting armor (as no knights are available,) paired with an ever-changing Mythological Beast (as no horses are available) and sent forth as the Giddy Knight to save a Princess... or at least try to cheer her up. He soon discovers that living through an adventure is quite different from just hearing stories about them!
