- Early Goodreads Readers

Thirteen years ago, a secret experiment shattered reality and buried the truth.

At Badger Springs, a forbidden scientific test tore through the fabric of the world, swallowing innocent lives and leaving behind silence, lies, and a single survivor: Victoria Lanell.

Now an adult, Lanell is a gifted but deeply scarred ferret haunted by vivid nightmares of the day her parents vanished beneath the earth. She works inside the very research complex responsible for the tragedy, unaware that the disaster was no accident and that powerful forces are still manipulating events from the shadows.

Then the impossible happens.

A covert experiment succeeds where it should have failed.

A human girl from another world appears inside the facility.

Terrified. Alone. Immediately classified as a research asset.

Lanell feels an inexplicable connection to her. Not logic. Not science. Something deeper.

As authoritarian Chancellor Trinn schemes to consolidate power using alien technology, and Professor Hare pushes science far beyond morality, Lanell is forced to choose between obedience and conscience.

To protect the girl and uncover the truth, she must confront buried memories, ancient forces, and a destiny tied to worlds beyond her own.

Because whatever came through that rift...

was never meant to be here.

Ferret Run: Secrets of Arcadia is a science-fantasy adventure blending emotional character drama, political intrigue, and cosmic mystery.
