Everybody says that Hunter has a horrible sense of direction, not to mention that his lies are always over-the-top. He gets lost frequently and can be gone for days at a time, then suddenly reappear with another crazy story, like how he was being chased by a dragon around a desert island. Thing is, they aren't lies. Hunter is one of the rare few who have the ability to hop from world to world with next to no effort. Years after Hunter gave up telling people what happens every time he vanishes, he has become a World Explorer for the IDWES (the Inter Dimensional World Explorer Society). He isn't famous, though. In fact, most world explorers don't even know of him. But he is one of the most efficient World Explorers out There. After years of expecting the unexpected and keeping an eye out for anything that might be there, the last thing he expected to happen (though it was still on the list) happens soon after he finishes mapping an area. His thirteen-year-old niece Saffron runs into him, in the dark, otherworldly, monster infested forest he was mapping. And he can't bring her home, because she was cursed. And she can't tell him who did it. What will happen to the pair? ------------------------------------------------------------- On pause till I finish writing the whole thing next month! Sorry 'bout that!

When your soul is hunted, you can't hide forever. Thousands of years ago, an evil known as the corruption seeped into the land. Where once it was contained by the Sentinels -- humans or elves gifted with magic -- it now thrives unchallenged, gaining strength and claiming those that once fought it for its own. Nineteen year old Skye has always known this. Living with demons on your doorstep is a constant fight for survival, but she’s determined to not become one of the corruption’s monsters. To keep her soul pure, no matter the cost. But with the Sentinels gone, betrayed by their own, it’s only a matter of time before the corruption seizes them all. When a scouting mission goes awry and Skye is taken prisoner, her blades can’t save her. Marked by the corrupted Sentinel, she waits for a fate worse than death to take hold. Only when the Silverborn, knights dedicated to fighting the corruption come to free her does something awaken within her. Something powerful. The power of a Sentinel. Celestial. Fire. Water. Nature. Shadow. None are safe from the corruption. *+*+*+*
