When you’ve travelled between worlds, there’s nowhere left to
go but home.
Rory has never been so cold in her life. But the biting wind
only reminds her of another pain that grows more intense with each passing day.
Each night Jaron’s beautiful voice sings in her dreams, and each day her
footsteps draw her closer to his side. Danger and intrigue at every turn, no
distance is too far when you’re returning for true love.
Rin has spent the last five years searching for Rory across two
worlds. Now a series of visions have him convinced he’s growing closer to
finding her. But when Rory slips through another portal, taking his visions
with her, he finds himself back at square one. To find her now he’ll need the
help of an old friend and a little otherworldly magic. This time he intends to bring The Wanderer
home for good.
Excerpt
Sometimes I think I've seen her face more times than my own.
Tonight she stands on
top of a snow- covered mountain with the wind in her hair. Her eyes crinkle at the corners as she
squints into the distance. She shifts her stance, leaning, her body reaching
forward and I can almost feel the racing of her heart as the wind billows
around her, lifting her cloak and whipping her hair into her eyes. It reminds
her of something she once felt, something powerful. Blood pounds in my ears and for a moment we
are connected, The Wanderer and I. Her pain, her longing, they choke me. She
holds her breath as the wind grows stronger. It pushes against her so that her
footing slips. I want to shout to her, warn her that she might fall, but I can
almost hear her thoughts. She hopes it will carry her away. To bring her
back.
The wind whips around her, swirling ice and snow at her feet
and she begins to cry. Her tears freeze as they slide down her cheeks. She doesn’t cry from fear or pain. Not even the bitter, endless cold could cause
her tears. No, she cries because it is
only the wind.
I woke up, panting,
covered in sweat. Turning over, I
clenched my eyes shut in a desperate attempt to bring the images back into
focus.
“It’s no use,” I groaned.
I knew it wouldn't work. It never
did. She was gone. That one little
glimpse was all I would get –for now.
The visions began the very day we returned home from Rutahn,
the world beyond the portal. I fell
asleep on my aunt’s couch and probably hadn’t even started
snoring when her face filled my mind. She was lying in the corner of a little
hut, bundled in blankets and furs. I remember how she shivered, like she was
trying to shake off her own skin. Her cheeks were flushed a bright red and she
gasped for air, tossing in her makeshift little bed. An arm with skin the color
of caramel reached toward her and wiped her face with a wet cloth. That’s when
I realized she was sick. I woke up in a panic, my heart racing.
I had fallen asleep afraid she might be dead and now instead of
feeling relieved that she was alive, I was more afraid than ever. We still
didn’t know where Rory was, but now I knew she was very sick. I worried
incessantly about her after that. I dreamed of her nearly every night,
gathering bits and pieces of information, clues as to where she might be. After that, the dreams gradually increased in
frequency, and then grew more intense.
Now, instead of just seeing Rory, I could feel a little of her thoughts,
her emotions. Most of the time it was a
relief. I saw her safe. I watched her
grow strong again. I even saw her smile once or twice.
Then, there were nights like this one. Nights where I could sense her terror, her
despair, the aching loneliness or desperate longing for those she had lost. I
would lie there helpless, watching her cry deep, heart wrenching sobs and I
would wake up with my pillow wet, my face covered in sympathetic tears.
Those were the nights that weighed on me. Visions like this one often forced me out of
bed and back into my research. It was impossible to sleep knowing she was out
there somewhere in pain and longing to find a way home. That’s why I keep
searching. For five endless years I’ve searched and I’ll keep searching until I
find her and bring the Wanderer home.

Blurb-
Rory has no idea what’s going on in the woods behind her house,
but it’s driving her crazy. On the last day of her senior year she finds
herself caught up once again in the curious happenings of the forest and walks
away without any of the answers she was hoping to find. To make matters worse,
she is sent to visit a sick neighbor and instead finds the hottest guy she’s
ever seen. When she discovers his brother’s incredible secret she falls further
into her own chaos and into a fate she never could have imagined.
Jaron is just counting the days until the summer is over and he
can get back to his real life. Stuck with his little brother on a tiny farm in
rural Oklahoma is not exactly his idea of fun. But when Rory
shows up on his doorstep with an armload of pie, he knows his summer has just
taken a sharp turn into new territory. He never expected the adventure they
would discover next or the quest that would change their lives forever.
