Synopsis

The Alliances Universe is a collection of stories and characters co-created by Stan Lee, Luke Lieberman and Ryan Silbert. The first project in the universe is A Trick of Light, a posthumous release that debuted as an Audible Original and became an instant New York Times Best-Seller. The Audible Original is an immersive experience that invites the listener to collaborate with Stan Lee to unleash their imagination to bring the visuals to life. Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light introduces listeners to a mysterious young woman, Nia, whose fate is intertwined with a seemingly ordinary Midwestern teenager, Cameron Ackerson, whose quest for YouTube stardom takes him to the heart of the Great Lakes Triangle, where he is imbued with the power to 'see' and 'hear' a new reality. As Nia and Cameron's relationship grows, they conspire to create a more righteous online universe, dishing out justice big and small, but wind up crossing a shadowy outfit called OPTIC, which goes after them for its own nefarious purposes. Meanwhile, a threat of galactic proportions emerges, imperiling humanity's very existence by harnessing our individual desire to connect as the very means to destroy us.
