CONTENTS

Prologue

Once upon a time, before the worlds were crafted from the heavens, two competing stars each thought they were the greatest and brightest in all the cosmos. To prove their might, the stars set off in a race across the eternities. Both were so preoccupied with flying the fastest that they collided and shattered into tiny pieces.

Only a single prong of one star remained, and she was brokenhearted.

The Creator cradled the weeping star in her hands. She pitied the star and wished to give her a new purpose. Grasping the star like a blade, the Creator cut seven worlds from the cloth of the eternities. When finished, the star no longer belonged in the heavens. She was an immortal sword. The Creator gave the sword to a protector, for, in the wrong hands, the blade could be wielded to split apart the very worlds she had molded. After a while, the sword was so content in her new calling she forgot she was ever a star.

One day, the sword was hidden away and forgotten until, years laterin a moment appointed by fatea sad little lass with a clock heart discovered her.

As the sword rested in the girls eager hands, she remembered that, before she was a blade, she had been a star. Although the lass was also broken, she, too, had a purpose, and together, the two of them would rival the sun.

Chapter One

Nothing and no one hides more secrets than the sea. Forgotten stories whisper over the whitecaps, lurk under the reflective surface, and dissipate in the winds. Our ship groans and creaks as her full sails elbow a path through the crests of the deep. Our course is set for the far-off thunderheads, making way for another world.

After two months of sailing open waters, neither I nor the captain nor our crew of outlaws on the Cadeyrn of the Seas can isolate our precise heading. My skill in reading and creating maps and my strong sense of direction are no help either. To find our destinationa portal to an Otherworldwe must lose ourselves in our own world.
