Sci-Fi Technology. Dark Fantasy Action.
A crystal shard of almost insurmountable power. A king bent on destroying the most influential man in the galaxy. And an intergalactic war that unveils a family's dark past. One thousand years after a bloody war and the descendants of the losing side are still confined behind walls. Born a prisoner, Lendelam believed she'd be the heroine who would end the queen's tyranny against her people-the heroine to force the royal family to acknowledge that she too had royal blood. With four of her closest friends, she had escaped her home planet to seek and destroy six crystal shards that could change her kin's future. But after a botched mission led to the deaths of her friends, she shelved her duty, abandoning her people. Years later, Lendelam is a freelance portal maker. Along with her husband, she has worked with royal figures and intergalactic mob bosses alike. But when she is contacted by the king of Crestahn to conjure a portal near one of the crystal shards she had neglected to deplete, her past comes barreling back to haunt her. The king wants to use the energy in the shard as a weapon that could potentially end his war, but she refuses to help him kill billions in a battle she wants no part of. With the lives of her husband and son on the line, can Lendelam make it out of Crestahn alive and finally face the past she's been running from? Or does her fate have other plans?
