A Human woman, a vengeful Mage, and a prophecy that changed everything.
A Human woman...
Sage just wanted a quiet evening reading with a glass of wine. When a dragon and a merman fall through her roof, she assumes she is in a dream. She agrees to escort them out of the city and deep into the forest to find what they are looking for. Why not? It's a dream, after all. When they open a portal to another realm, Sage must decide whether she will stay in her normal life and wake up without the full story, or secretly follow them on an adventure that will change everything.
Walking into a realm with beings from legend was not on her to-do list.
A vengeful Mage...
Willow has spent the last twenty years of her life searching for a way into the Human realm. They have her mother, and she will do anything to get her back. When the Humans attempt to break through a portal, she sees it as an opportunity. After being assigned to lead a mission to gather recon, Willow must decide whether she will stick to the plan, or put her entire realm in danger by breaking off to find her missing mother.
An ancient prophecy awakens, threatening to plunge both worlds into chaos. Loyalties are tested, and unexpected alliances form, including a charming Mer and a giant Were with a complicated history.
Step into a realm where portals, dragons, and forbidden magic collide in a breathtaking journey across intertwined worlds. This epic fantasy adventure features spellbinding characters and mysterious realms waiting to be explored.
