Summary
Genre: action/adventure/fantasy
In the time our young warrior spent in Aurora, she trained to fight, she saw battle, she faced trials, she dealt with heavy loss, and she learned to love again, keeping close her friends as if they were family.
She learned to track, and she hunted fell things in the forests and the treacherous mountains.
Now Jada returns to the other dimension and begins to learn and understand what it truly means to be a traveler and to traverse. She brings with her those tracking skills 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’s caught her quarry.
But the wolf won’t go easily. The hunter and the hunted will battle, and the dance and chase of the two travelers will commence.
All the while, the true plot she’s tasked with stopping will at last be uncovered. 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, it wasn’t something they thought that they’d see in their time.
Also, 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 exhiled the rightful heirs. But 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 return of the rightful heir. Jada knew from the beginning that Michael, son of kings, would return to his rightful place. Now events may begin to shift in the wake of the spreading shadow that restores him to his homeland…and his throne.
In the midst of frantic traversing to both stop the plot of men in Earth’s dimension, and counter the oppressive forces of the fallen cities in Aurora, our lone traveler continues to develop.
As is with life, there will be times of despair and joy, of darkness and light, and she will also know firsthand that she hadn’t yet seen all the creatures of Aurora. 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.

Author Notes
In the opening chapters, we’re catching up to what Jada has been doing since she first traversed back to Earth’s dimension. We also get to see what Halden and Ambrose have been up to under their reigns of tyranny. New key characters are introduced in these early stages as well. Thus, the pace of the story slowly increases and resumes “normal” speed around Chapter 89. This is when many pieces from earlier chapters fall into place, which allows the pace to pick up.
Part III: Transform, on the other hand, hits the ground running and goes full board from start to finish. It’s the shortest of the three parts and is essentially one big climax that builds and builds until it hits its peak.
I just thought it a good idea to note the pace at the beginning. There are a lot of new pieces of the puzzle that are brought in and it takes time for them to fall into place. It also takes time for our two battling travelers to identify one another and pick up each other’s trail. After that, things slingshot forward.
