A castle adrift in the Astral Sea. A shattered defense between the realms. A heroine thought lost to time.   When Nexus, a stronghold that protected the Prime Realms from the Old Gods of the Far Realm, falls, chaos erupts. Anya, in a desperate bid to save them all, attempts to transport Nexus across the cosmos, but something goes horribly wrong. The mighty castle appears as a streaking comet over the world of Veniethea, plummeting from the heavens.   Kara, once a renowned warrior, is swept from Nexus during the fall, landing back in the place where her journey first began—where enemies thought her long dead. With the weight of her haunted past looming over her, Kara must rally those who survived the catastrophe and guide them through the remnants of her former life. Together, they must locate the fallen Nexus, for its secrets may hold the key to averting a cosmic disaster.   But as Kara delves deeper into her quest, old foes resurface, and her past is closer than she dares to imagine. In a world that thought her legend was over, can Kara rise again to save Veniethea, or will the darkness claim it all?   Perfect for fans of epic fantasy and cosmic adventure, The Book of Karael weaves together gripping action, deep character arcs, and a story of redemption set against the backdrop of looming otherworldly threats.
