In a world where magic and military training collide, a sergeant's ordinary life shatters when she's thrust into a realm of twilight and ancient power. Armed with newfound abilities she barely understands and an AI companion with attitude, Kali must navigate court politics, cosmic forces, and her own mysterious heritage. Her only allies? A sister she's not sure she can trust and a sentient plant with a concerning appetite for abstract concepts. As she unravels the truth about her past and her powers, Kali discovers that in a realm where reality bends like light through crystal, nothing is quite what it seems - especially family.
