About this ebook
To any heart interested in a good story –
A world made up of worlds separated by bottomless chasms, which are filled with mist that rises up around each realm like a wall of living smoke.
Two races: Humans and the intelligent species of animals (there are twelve of these). These two races have cores of energy beating within them, which they can employ in various common tasks and elemental arts unique to each species.
There’s a mysterious, powerful bond between these races, called Ircenism – the Human is Ircenera to the animal, and the animal is Ircenera to the Human. This moiety defines every part of their society and lives.
Humans have secondary forms after their Irceneras, lending them claws, wings, powerful limbs to run and climb and dive...
And one young Human, born of the world of Ennead, who finds himself imprisoned in the fortress-university Locor Aplomado. He and his Ircenera have the only chance to flee for help, and cannot imagine how their lives will change for the undertaking.
His name is Dag; he was raised in the wild reaches of his world, and ventured out as a young teenager to see if even Locor Aplomado could sate his lust for knowledge. Barely had he begun to relax into this new mode of life when the training cycles were disrupted by a faceless hold over the university. Unseen dominators have taken grip over its occupants, and are tightening it with crushing force, possessing or intimidating creatures into compliance with their wills.
These tyrants didn’t consider the variations and sheer will of the intelligent mind – most especially of Dag’s, with his independent, wild spirit. He and his Ircenera begin to break the domination by sneaking out at nights to meet each other and practice with their cores, going over everything from Dag’s shapeshifting to common core techniques to the art of their element. Making dangerous enemies and discoveries in their furtive hours, their lives soon become the price. Thus they embark with the single goal of returning with help – not merely because of the hundreds of creatures who remain trapped, but because Locor Aplomado is the feature that makes their world useful, even invaluable, to decidedly hostile neighbors across the Gaps. Help, when they find it, comes not in any way they would have imagined (involving finding themselves as part of the leading body for the ramshackle siege they have roused against the university).
And through it all, as he finds himself becoming more and more reliant on the support of the creatures around him, Dag clings to the hope that gives him strength, working toward and thinking of the day he and his friends (one in particular) will be free of the turmoil, and he will be able to pursue his way back to the wilds in peace...
If this isn’t enough to at least stir your mind, dear reader, then please: don’t waste either of our times.
If it’s enough to even make you think a moment on what such a story might hold...
Read on, dear spirit; open the cover.
After all, all great stories begin behind such.

This Alaskan author/sculptor builds her world in a precise order: God, family, and art. She firmly believes that a book isn't worth reading unless it can take you to a place you never knew existed (wherein she considers her books in particular a narrated historical effort for a realm of shapeshifters whose moiety drives complex and arcane societies).
