Cutthroat mercenaries, terrorism, secret societies, and global domination.
​
Dark rulers, a high king, speaking animals, mythical creatures, and skilled warriors astride fearless warhorses.
Two dimensions, two interconnected plots, and one young traveler who will do everything possible to stop both plans in both realms. Victory for the light means life, but failure means slavery and death. Good doesn’t always overcome Evil, and sometimes the light is consumed by the dark.​
Part I: Genesis
Summary:
​
One battered soul reaches her breaking point and flees from her tormentors only to find herself in an entirely different realm.
She will learn how to trust people but also how to discern them. Intertwined through her journey of gaining hands-on skills are healing and growth. Oftentimes, true confidence, maturity, and self-mastery do not simply happen miraculously. They are hard-fought for and hard-won through adversity from outside trials and from battling internal demons.
Through her time spent in this dimension, she will battle epic beasts and evil enemies. She will explore this new world, take bold risks, and occasionally get herself into a spot of trouble. She will face loss but also better understand what love is. Learning the new realm is only the beginning, and all her experiences will form her into what she was truly made to be: a traveler.​​​​

Part Two: Traverse
Summary:
​
Jada returns to Earth’s dimension and begins to learn and understand what it truly means to be a traveler and to traverse. She brings her tracking skills from Aurora and starts a new hunt for another traveler. The wolfhound is searching for a scent that she knows is there, the scent of a dangerous wolf. Once that trail is found, there will be no stopping her until she has caught her prey.
​
The wolf won’t go easily. The hunter and the hunted will battle, and the dance and chase of the two travelers will commence.
​
She will also uncover the true plot in her home dimension. It goes far beyond the
desire for land or money.
​
It’s such a large and sinister scheme that she and the team never thought it was possible. Or, at least, they didn’t think they would see such a thing in their time.
Meanwhile, in Aurora, there are whispers far in the southeast that a change is coming to an ancient and timeless land. Long has it been ruled by a king who stole the throne and exiled the rightful heirs. In light of the stirrings from the fallen cities of Asgarod and Kolanthel, and from the rising darkness in the North, the time has come to begin preparing the way for the rightful heir.
Our lone traveler continues learning and developing in the midst of frantic traversing to stop the plot of men in Earth’s dimension and to counter the oppressive forces of the fallen cities in Aurora.
As is life, she will know despair and joy, darkness and light. She will meet new creatures, friend and foe. She has learned much, but there’s still so much yet to know. Above all, she will fully understand the burden and price of being a traveler.​​

Part Three: Transform
Summary:
​
All things unravel quickly now, for the dark king of war rides again beyond his boundaries. In the wake of his arrival to the South, he uses his two pawns, Halden and Ambrose, to strike the Southern Forces.
​
Yet, the South is not as weak as the enemy supposes, and neither has fear overcome them.
​
As the looming battle approaches, the opposing sides counter each other. The South seeks to delay the dark king’s main forces. The fallen sister cities try to cripple the Southern Forces before Cassius’s arrival.
Michael, commander of men and exiled young prince, looks longingly to his homeland. He yearns to take his rightful place among his people. But how can he leave when the South is hard-pressed to hold back crushing waves of enemy attacks? Will his hope of reclaiming his rightful throne remain an unfulfilled wish or will it dawn in reality?
​
In the time of great evil, amazing feats will take place, and many forgotten things will be remembered in the hearts and minds of the free people. Chosen nations long lost in ancient history will be called upon by their very Maker to rise again.
​
Woven through these events is the continued journey of Jada, the lone wanderer. Questions she has begun wondering will be answered. The changes she has noticed in herself will be explained. Very soon, she will be brought out of her role as warrior and lifted into a new position.
​
In a time of war, steadfast and skilled warriors are needed. As are those who can travel quickly to fulfill secret, vital tasks that shape the outcome of that very war. In the throes of darkness and despair, symbols of light and hope are needed for those facing the ranks of potent evil.
​
As Jada’s transformation completes, she’ll meet new faces and old friends. Great and mysterious secrets of the realm will be revealed. She will cross paths with timeless creatures and those who were at the beginning of Aurora’s creation.
​
Simultaneously, the nefarious plot in Earth’s dimension reveals itself. The fates for two of its conspirators, Channing and Aiden, will be met. The final boss fights involving the duo and Jada will conclude.
Dragon fire, angels and demons, other supernatural beings, and the human embodiment of Evil—all of these will clash as the battle for the mastery of the South begins.
