On the northwest side of Chicago, Ruby has a perfect life. Her family feeds her everyday, they are home with her all the time, and they allow her to patrol the backyard. What more could a dog ask for? But when Ruby meets Ortis the blue bunny, all of this changes.
In order to help Ortis return to his home in the Six Realms, Ruby must jump into the family’s pool with the rabbit. Ruby never expected anything to happen. But when the water started swirling and pulled her under, there was nothing the little dog could do.
Now Ruby is in Rocia, one of the Six Realms underneath the earth. This new land is fraught with dangers at every corner, from hideous Crites to the ball-like Ozzixites. But something else has been silently pulling strings from inside the Diamond Dust Desert. An evil, older than the world itself, has begun its plans. The fate of the Six Realms and Ruby’s home in the world above is at stake. Now, Ruby must brave these strange new lands to save everything she holds dear.

Excerpt
The Ozzixite leader vibrated, agitated by the assault. Claws clicked on the wood as the Merlecat walked back towards the door it came from. But suddenly, the Merleact froze in its tracks. It lifted its head, sensing something was amiss. Ruby was seized by fear. Had it sensed they were hiding in the room with it? What could she do against the Merlecat besides run? Questions raced through her mind, questions about what she should do now that it seemed the Merlecat had found her.
The Merlecat stood on that spot and sighed, "Pathetic."
Crash! Wood beams from the roof plowed into the room. An Ozzixite guard was ordered by its leader to strike the Merlecat. Black onyx arms flew at rapid speeds towards the Merlecat who stood there only watching the spear tipped arms come flying at his face.
Prince Charming in a Detroit warehouse? That's nothing! It's the throne that'll throw you! After freeing a ragged Prince Charming, two women discover dreams don't have to be fantasies -- and with enough elbow grease, anyone can create a kingdom.
