This is a publishing of me just rewriting Rift World from scratch, see how it turns out. See the original story for details.

In this "book", I show off some concept art for my series, including different cover ideas, drawings, and, best of all, you can submit things! If you have a drawing of something from Keystone or Rift World, send it to me, and I'll put it in here. I'm always wondering what pictures appear in people's heads when they read my books, and now you can show me and your fellow readers! Happy Drawing!

In a corrupted world, the government is searching for a new home for humankind and succeeds in opening a rift. People are chosen to colonize this world, some willingly, others by force. Elias is one of these Chosen People. Kidnapped from his house, he is thrown into an unknown world with unknown dangers. The government calls it safe, but in reality, there is no way to tell. Once you go through the rift, you can't come back. Note: This is a first draft, so feel free to leave feedback, as I am always open to suggestions!

A bright white light blinded his eyes for a second, but as his vision cleared the man saw that he was in a sort of jungle area, in a small clearing surrounded on all sides by large trees and thick underbrush. There was no apparent way out, so the man chose a random direction. After a short walk, he came out onto a cliff with about a fifty foot drop to the trees below. He surveyed the land, and gathered that he was on a small island of about a mile or two in diameter. Like most islands, it had a volcanic center and was rimmed by sandy beaches. The jungle took up most of the interior, but there was also some flat area near the beaches on one side. In this area was a small town, and that's where he was headed. His name was Curtis, and he was looking for what most inhabitants of the island said was only a legend. The Arrex Keystone. This is a first draft, so comments and feedback are much appreciated! Lots more to come!
