What is A Sequence of Cosmic Accidents about?

Twelve-year-old Arian is struggling with grief when Madlock, his strange new foster sister, arrives.

When Madlock opens a portal, the pair are swept across distant planets, where they must battle monsters, confront an ancient enemy and learn to control dangerous magic. Along the way, their uneasy rivalry begins to grow into an unexpected friendship.
