The Whispering Crystals

Slinging hotdogs may not be the most glorious side gig, but hey, if it paid for college, that’s all Emma could ask for. And let’s be real, of all the crowds in the world, what were the odds that Comic-Con would get Portalled next? Emma really should’ve known better. Once again, the universe conspires against her, and now she’s stuck in a world where the laws of physics don’t seem to apply, and even the grass is trying to kill her. She better pay close heed to the Artificial Intelligence guiding her and make some new friends fast, because out here, it’s thrive or die.

Emma really should’ve known better. Once again, the universe conspires against her, and now she’s stuck in a world where the laws of physics don’t seem to apply, and even the grass is trying to kill her. She better pay close heed to the Artificial Intelligence guiding her and make some new friends fast, because out here, it’s thrive or die.

Emma made it out of Hub Two, but now she’s faced with the next set of Trials. And this time, they will "involve" combat. Whatever that’s supposed to mean. Thankfully, she’s not going in alone. Instead, she’ll be facing the Trials together with her little gang of misfits. At least maybe they’ll keep her from taking any more stupid risks, right? After all, there are still many unanswered questions about the Realm of Crystals. All they have to go by is sparse information provided by the mysterious AIs linked to their eye-crystals. But can those really be trusted?

Emma and her friends are about to enter Hub Three, which will undoubtedly present another explosive cocktail of dangerous inhabitants, from freaky flora and fauna to manipulative fellow survivors. Great timing, really, for Emma to begin questioning Suri’s motives, having caught the mysterious Artificial Intelligence out in a lie for the first time.

Emma and Kaitlynn are about to start the next—and final—series of trials, and the only thing that seems certain is that it’s going to be a bumpy friggin’ ride.

Nothing in life that’s worth having, comes easy. Having finally learned the horrible truth about Peilor society, Emma has chosen to cut the chain connecting her spirit to her body, and fled to the Realm of Imagination. Now she is headed for a Realm whose ruler banished her, with no way back. Worse, she has never managed to stay there for longer than a few hours before starting to Fade out of existence....

Those Peilor bastards have scheduled planet Earth for abduction, and the clock is ticking. Emma and Kaitlynn will have to get the Blue Dragons back together and do something about it fast, or humanity will be toast. Of course, they don’t have to tackle the problem alone, as there are allies to be found in the Realm of Imagination. The question is just if they’re willing to help in a human timeframe... Then there is Suri, once upon a time Emma’s rock. Literally.
