Torn between two worlds, Rayna must decide which is greater—
her desire to return to her own world—or her love for the man of her dreams.
Following a strange storm, college student Rayna Powell finds herself in a dangerous land with mysterious powers she didn't know she had. But is her power great enough to confront the beasts within Nephredom's Gate? Can she save the land of Taren from destruction?
Accompanying Rayna on her reluctant quest is Arstinax—a tall, strong warrior who is as gentle with her as he is fierce in battle. In spite of herself, Rayna falls in love with him, which makes the adventures they share together all the more thrilling...and the stakes couldn't be higher!

Its pointed-toothed mouth opened and closed repeatedly, as if rehearsing for its next meal. Rayna dared not breathe; she feared the sound of her own pounding heart would give her away...

When Rayna Powell seeks to avoid running into a woman standing in the middle of the road on a rainy night, the ensuing crash hurtles her into another world, where she crosses a barren, lightning-filled plain to emerge in a land that hails her as a god returned.
