This is a story where a girl who died then came back to life with no memory of her past life. Flashbacks from her previous life slowly are coming back. The horrors she faced. Powers from other worlds. One of her powers can take her to other words, hence the name The Traveler. She can absorb other people's powers they would still have their powers, but it was like she copied them and made them her own but only in certain worlds. She still has her powers and understands them. She can end all worlds without even trying. Some people call her a weapon. Some call her a monster. Some call her friend, and some call her hero. Join The Traveler in getting her memories back, help her find love, and friends and family. Help her save many worlds. I will write as much as I can for this book. I keep dreaming a lot of this stuff, so I thought, why not make a book so I can share my imagination. I might turn this into a series.
