The call of the rift, 4

"Katja is adrift, haunted by her memories of the battle and dark visions of a desolate wasteland. Her only guidance is her parents' cryptic messages from the spirit world. On their instructions, Katja goes south to track down her mercenary friend Tiernan. Maybe together, they can find the R͠onbattai's elusive cleric leader, defeat their ranks forever, and end the war. Yet Tiernan is missing, and Katja's best hope of rescuing him is by striking unlikely alliances -- with untrustworthy acquaintances and new allies hiding dangerous secrets. Set in two parallel worlds, this series follows Kateiko Rin, a headstrong teenage girl with the power to shapeshift and control water, as she grows up in the war-torn coastal rainforest. As the worlds diverge, so do the versions of herself. Orphaned Kako takes up arms to protect her people, while refugee Katja finds purpose as a healer. Each girl's fiction is the other's truth -- in love, war, and everything in between. The prospect of a rift opening between worlds poses a question to characters and readers: if you could cross into another version of your life, would you?"--, Provided by publisher
