Overview
If magic was real, how far would you go to find it? Dylan is comfortable with his insular life, working at an insurance company and living with his wheelchair-bound aunt. Then he meets Chris, a young woman of boundless energy, on a quest to gather what magic may still remain at the world’s most remote places, the Poles of Inaccessibility. Dylan and Chris circle the globe on an epic journey of discovery, comedy, danger, and romance.
