The Rift Within (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230389392)

Eris, a skilled Gatekeeper of the Dominion, is tasked with a seemingly simple mission: stabilize rifts that threaten the fragile balance between dimensions. Armed with her Skyfire Blade and unwavering loyalty, she has always believed in the Dominion's creed: "Duty above all." But when she encounters Rian Karros, a rogue who claims the Dominion is hiding devastating truths about the nature of skyfire energy, everything she knows begins to fracture.

Pursuing Rian through unstable rifts and collapsing ruins, Eris discovers remnants of hidden technology and hears whispers of worlds destroyed by the very system she serves. As Rian challenges her loyalty and exposes cracks in the Dominion's narrative, Eris finds herself questioning not just her mission, but the true cost of the Dominion's stability.

Caught in a web of betrayal, shifting alliances, and the volatile power of skyfire, Eris must choose between blind loyalty and uncovering the truth. But with the Dominion watching her every move and the rifts growing increasingly unstable, her choices could mean the difference between saving dimensions-or tearing them apart forever.

A thrilling blend of action, emotion, and steampunk-inspired sci-fi, "The Rift Within" is a gripping tale of loyalty, truth, and the power of questioning everything you've been taught.
