When Gianna is pulled from the world she knows to a wild and magical land called Gateway, she begins to adapt too well, losing herself to nature and drifting from her fellow humans. In an effort to help her group, she dives into an ancient, underwater palace to face its dangers and bring its riches to the surface. What she uncovers is a primal magic that begins to change her body, mind, and soul. To protect her newfound home, Gianna must walk the line between human and beast, hero and monster. She must become the Chimera. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
