It's Christmas Eve in 1899 when Rafe dreams of his home burning and a beautiful girl offering him safety. This only adds to his worries about the upcoming magical world Separation and the growing presence of a dangerous gang.

Despite the protective watch of Henrietta Burke and the interference of a time traveller who joins the Savages, Rafe's destiny may be closer than he expects.

{ NEW VERSION AVAILABLE! PLEASE GO TO "Dimension Walker, Reality Weaver: The Midnight Thief" TO READ THE REWRITE! } Thea Rousseau-Capello is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ever since she was young, she's spent most of her time on the run, moving from one town to the next, never once sticking around for too long once something weird happens. Her life was complicated but predictable, until a simple field trip goes south and turns Thea's world upside down. It turns out that reality isn't what it appears to be, that her dad's bedtime stories were more than just make-believe. The gods and monsters from all of the world's myths and legends are real, and they're aiming to ruin what little normalcy Thea had left. To makes matters even worse, the Midnight Whip belonging to the primordial goddess Nyx was stolen, and everyone thinks Thea knows where it's at. Now, to prove her innocence, Thea and her friends must embark on a dangerous quest to find and return the Whip by the summer solstice before all hell breaks loose in the Nine Realms. Though, catching a thief isn't the only thing Thea has to worry about. Not only will she uncover the secrets her dad has been keeping from her since birth, but Thea also must come face-to-face with the truth about who her supposedly dead papa actually is. ~Book One of "The Dimension Walker" Series~ *For readers 13 and up due to strong language (i.e. swearing) and slightly dark/mature elements.
