The story of Hannah Fanning / Eleven hills (english edition)

When Hannah Fanning begins her studies at UCLA, she believes it's a fresh start: lectures, sleepless nights in the library, a campus brimming with opportunities. But something isn't right. Recurring dreams haunt her—of an unfamiliar sky, misty hills, and a star that seems to know her name. And then there's Dawson, the quiet classmate whose gaze knows more than he says. A hidden mirror in the university's basement becomes a rift in Hannah's reality. Beyond it lies Naytnal, a crumbling liminal space of magic, ancient alliances, and dangerous beings: fairies with deadly promises, gnomes with mechanical secrets, dragons, demons, and elves who have long forgotten what trust means. Naytnal is dying—and Hannah could be the key to its salvation. Amidst prophecies, betrayal, and a journey through the eleven hills of this world, Hannah must ask herself who she truly is: a student, a savior, or something she has long since forgotten. As Dawson's past threatens to catch up with them both, it becomes clear that power always comes at a price—and that some decisions offer no innocent escape. ELEVEN HILLS, the first book in THE STORY OF HANNAH FANNING series, is a dark fantasy tale about memory and identity, about love as both strength and weakness—and about the courage not to dominate a world, but to reimagine it.
