That day at the Armantrea market was the same as any other until a tall, beautiful stranger appeared and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, my world disappeared, replaced by his strange land. I'm suddenly surrounded by foreign accents, mysterious, magic-wielding Astrales like Xander, and powers I never knew existed.
Except, in Xander's eyes, I belong here. Fate's unfathomable hand guided mine to unknowingly create a replica of an ancient Astrale relic-one with the power to upend society as we know it. Months later, I am responsible for tracking down this lost replica through an unfamiliar world, with Xander as my guide.
But the Astrales are playing with powers far beyond my comprehension and have political agendas I can't begin to understand.
Despite his barbaric and controlling demeanor, I find myself drawn to Xander, and something shifts as I begin to rely on him for my safety. When threats from this new world circle in, truths from my past begin to surface, and I am forced to question everything I know.
Xander does what he can to protect me, but I soon realize that even he can't stop the Void that threatens to swallow me whole...
