Book Description:
“I’ll start at the beginning.
Long ago, before roads, before we built structures, before medicine was
discovered, before the government was created, before man gained any knowledge,
there were The Five. Independent from each other, The Five had a mutual respect
for one another. They knew their roles in the world and their duty. They were
gods…”
An adventure begins when an
otherworldly tree captures the attention of Megan and her friends. The
environment morphs around them, transferring them to an exotic planet. Stuck in
a rural town still maimed by the plague, a chance encounter with a familiar
face gives Megan and her friends some security during their adjustment period.
While settling into new,
promising lives, they are attacked and stalked by planet Dalya’s humanoid
inhabitants, who focus on Megan. One dark night, after an epic, magical attack,
the Fae King’s knight is sent to fetch Megan. When she wakes up a prisoner, she
learns that there is much more to this strange world, and it is oddly more like
her own than she ever would have expected.
Excerpt 2
Kevin
Every time my
life improves, when business runs smoothly and this world begins to feel
normal, there’s a curveball. Always, without fail, either Earth-shattering news
or Dalya-shattering news, depending on which planet you come from. Don’t get me
wrong; I’m glad to see Megan and her friends alive, but they should be living
their lives happily on Earth, not here.
Not trapped.
I honestly
thought Megan was a hallucination created by too much alcohol. Standing there
in the forge, surrounded by people from both worlds, it made me panic. I was
positive I’d lost it, that I either drank myself mad or that I’d gone crazy.
Two distant worlds collided together, people from my past and present, from two
separate places, standing in the same room. It made me freak out to a
completely new level. It took a few moments to realize Megan and her friends
actually stood in front of me. What happened to me eight years ago happened to
them too.
Good, I’m not
insane—not yet—but it sucks for Megan and the girls.
About the Author:
Katie Zaber knows the best way to
decide who is cooking dinner is with a Nerf gun fight in the living room. Her
boyfriend is an exceptional cook. When she isn’t baking, going to wine
tastings, or reading, she’s busy planning her next trip to Six Flags Great
Adventure or Long Beach Island, New Jersey. As a child, her mother would read
stories about Atlantis and other fictional places that she dreamed of
exploring, fueling her love of history, adventure, and fantasy. After spending
her days working in a coffee shop, she moved up the ladder getting an office
job where she unfortunately was involved in a filing accident. Unable to move,
bored out of her mind, and desperate for entertainment, she turned to her
imagination and began writing. These days, she finds herself captivated by her
many projects and enjoys quiet nights at home.
