Enter the Rift Realms…
Willow is the last surviving himmel, a deadly race created by a forgotten all-powerful entity. Forced from her solitude and imprisoned, she has but one choice—to trust the very hunter who captured her.
Feared by the universe and exiled through Kahzia’s only rift, Lykodine Rider Carrick needs her help to get home. When another banished—a fellow Rider intent on vengeance and stellar war—tears her soul from her body, Willow is thrust into a weak humanoid form.
They must race across the continent and rescue her true self before the impending eclipse, all while resisting a telepathic bond determined to weave them together. Can Willow and Carrick prevent the unleashing of a monstrosity… one born from stolen himmel blood and corrupted magic?
