- Inhalt:
- Kara, a survivor of violent acts and difficult challenges, sacrificed her personal life for her military career. When she had set off into the Rockies with her dog, gear, and training plan, her only intention was to train for her next marathon season. Since leaving the army, running gave her the mental peace and clarity of purpose that she needed. The harder the run, the better the effect. A few weeks dedicated to hill repeats and long runs down scenic trails seemed the perfect getaway.At the bottom of a sun baked ridge, Kara finds and rescues a curious, and at first glance inept, man from certain death. This was Krikor, a mage with the mission of ridding worlds of the shadowy plague of deadly trans dimensional monsters, kivuli and forever closing the portals that gave them access to new feeding grounds on earth.In Kara, Krikor saw not just a useful asset, but a companion. As odd as she was with her stoic manner, love of running and curious choice of canine companionship, she was resilient and principled. What would she choose to do if given the choice of joining him in his epic mission instead of returning to her life of running for medals that dangle from ribbons? She would make a perfect apprentice and companion; if he could successfully navigate her explosions of rage and general mistrust.Secretly hoping for one last chance to die in glorious battle for a noble cause, Kara follows him through portals to new worlds. Again, Kara finds herself facing violence, death, and sorrow.With the use of allegory, Kivuli unpacks some of the emotional truths of surviving trauma and dealing with the psychological repercussions. This book is about the price of selfless acts of courage and the long path to recovery. This book contains combative violence with vivid descriptions of bloodshed. There is some profanity and mention of sexual attraction.
