About The Book

When a villain threatens every universe, only two unlikely best friends—Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo—can stop him with the power of courage, trust, and joy. Universes collide, worlds crumble, and the only hope rests on the unshakable bond between Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo. Friendship is the ultimate weapon when two unlikely allies rise to face a sorcerer determined to erase every reality.

Friendship is a powerful thing. Hailing from two different universes, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo are brought together because of Roy Higgins, a powerful sorcerer, determined to eradicate his sworn enemy in every single reality. Roy’s singular focus on his foe has made him paranoid, angry, violent and mean. His corrupting influence threatens to destroy every universe in existence. The only two that can put a stop to Roy, through bravery, hope, trust and joy, are new best friends, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo.
