Crestia Blackmane was expelled from the arcane university for her relentless pursuit of forbidden theories; wild notions of realms beyond the known magical worlds. But she refused to be dismissed as a lunatic or a dreamer. With loyal friends, an untested vessel, and sheer determination, she set out to prove them all wrong. The good news? Her theories were correct. The bad news? Tearing a hole in reality was the easy part. Getting back is another matter entirely. Now stranded in an unfamiliar universe where magic is weak and technology reigns, Crestia and the crew of The Abyssal Nomad must navigate a galaxy unlike anything they’ve ever known. Alien civilizations, interstellar empires, and laws of reality that challenge everything they took for granted stand between them and a way home. But survival is only the beginning.
