Broken Realm

In a world torn by divine betrayal, two lost souls must face a god's wrath--or lose their love to an eternal rift.

Keely Thompkins, a seamstress bound by fear of the unknown, finds refuge in the quiet of her attic. Briggs Ray, a woodsman scarred by a solitary past, survives on wit and defiance in a village that overlooks him. During a vibrant festival, a shimmering portal steals them from their home, leaving their town vanished and their bodies marked by the enigmatic gods, Ahisa and Menor. Stranded in a realm warped by the Great Rift--a celestial schism spawning deadly frosts and monstrous skitters--they forge a fragile bond to survive.

As they navigate a land of quaking earth and predatory shadows, guided by strangers who revere their marks as divine, Keely and Briggs uncover a perilous truth: they are chosen to mend the rift between the gods, a task that has claimed countless lives. Their love, tested by Teulin--a merciless entity born of the gods' discord--grows amidst trials of drowning rivers, scorching suns, and haunting memories. With time running out, they must confront Ahisa's guarded heart and Menor's remorse, risking not just their lives but the very love that anchors them.

Will their faith in each other prove stronger than a god's vengeance, or will they become another sacrifice to a fractured eternity?

A mesmerizing tale of love, sacrifice, and defiance, Wandering Bark charts a perilous journey where the heart's courage is the only star to guide a lost soul home.
