OMARIA

MAGICAL REALISM | LITERARY FICTION

Sinne does not steer. She suggests. Her vessel interprets.

By day, she survives the merciless life in a post-war refugee camp. By night, she enters Omaria — a world where clouds are little islands, where time is layered like memories, and where everything you feel takes tangible form.

There she meets Toran. Not the hardened camp commander she fears by day, but a deposed king, trapped in his own flight. Together they navigate a world that challenges them to trust in what they cannot understand. But the dark Mara, whose magic seeps through both worlds, has plans that reach far beyond what they suspect.

What if the place you flee to is more real than the world you leave behind? And what if the key to freedom lies not in escape — but in return?

A novel about adventure, transcendent love and the light that becomes visible when you have the courage to truly see.

Xandra Dupper is a visual artist, writer and musician. Omaria grew from four visual artworks that asked for a story. This is her debut novel.
