Promise of a Future: A Glimpse Behind the Portal Novella

By Machelle Hanleigh

A promise kept. A future unraveling. A fate not yet her own.

Fiona never intended to become the catalyst for an entire species' survival. But when visions from the Seer lead her into the heart of a crumbling jungle and into the den of the enigmatic Zaltys, her path becomes inescapably clear. With time running out and trust hard-won, Fiona risks everything to deliver an elixir that could restore a dying people; if only they accept the cost.

But some futures can't be predicted.

When the Gateway carries her to a world she did not choose, Fiona finds herself face-to-face with a being that isn't supposed to exist. A being who remembers her, though they have never met.

Promise of a Future is a gripping fantasy/sci-fi novella of fate, sacrifice, and the unraveling truth waiting beyond the veil of destiny and choices.

The journey neither begins nor ends here. Continue exploring the worlds of Celtan, Ki, and beyond in the Glimpse Behind the Portal novellas; companion stories that illuminate the hidden moments and untold scenes behind the Druidess Trilogy.
