You’re Never a Hero Until You Are
A junction erupts between the worlds in Settler, Oregon, a rift from which horrors attack our world. The Rifters defend us.
To trust unquestioningly is the first lesson Daelin Long must learn as the newest Initiate of the Rifters.
Her first day is a disaster. To protect her missing sister, Daelin finds it necessary to lie, causing her to fail at her lessons. Worse, the rock sample she digs up near the rift flies away and grows into a swarm of carnivorous bees.
While she struggles, Earl Blacke grapples with his troubles, running far and fast from Settler, Oregon. He must atone for his past before he can have a future. If he can succeed at gold mining and love, two things he previously failed at, perhaps he can salvage his soul. Before he can find out, Daelin’s sister calls for help, forcing him back to Settler.
There, he and Daelin must work together to preserve family, the town, and tomorrow. They must believe in themselves and each other before there is nothing left to save.
