Both of these worlds are integral to an exciting new storytelling project that Tomorrowland is actively developing.

The Elixir stage

Readers of ‘The Spirit of Life‘ will discover a story of friendship, unity and the power of nature within the enchanting Tomorrowland universe:

“For Liria of the River Clan, working for the Governor of Bloom is a stepping stone to greater things. But, when a malicious force unleashes a dangerous blight, her world is turned upside down. Suspected of having a part in this, Liria flees to find a cure in a hidden vale before the coming Conjunction of the moons.

Pursued by Kaedar, the Protectors of Bloom’s Chief Ranger and his team, she navigates her way through unpredictable waterways and ancient forests, with hazards at every turn. Forging bonds of friendship with the natural world, Liria finds something she wasn’t looking for while trying to save her home, before all is lost…”
