The Crystal Mythos

Being a soldier for her city of light, she's heard the legends before. When the Anchor Crystal broke and the world fragmented into three realms, aetherical energy separated and settled into every soul. This spiritual polarity creates the terrible effect known as the soul-flame. To the eye, it rages and consumes all. To the touch, it burns. But Angela has never seen it engulf her husband Michael before.

For 15 years she’s defended humanity with Neti by her side. Hunting down rogues and slavers and training together has strengthened their bond. She’s at peace with her place on Earth, at least until she discovers that crystal shards are being stolen from Dingir. They travel to Kur, suspicious of another plot to restore the Anchor Crystal and re-join all dimensions into one, and quickly discover that a councilman is working in the shadows. But something larger is brewing; the ancient past is waking up.

The last thing Angela remembers is her sword rending flesh and the goddess’ hand she took. When she awakens to find the city of Dingir little more than a frozen wasteland, four years have come and gone, yet she has experienced the passage of entire eons through the goddess’ eyes. Ti’amat, the Mother of Serpents, will rebuild her lost world from the corpse of Angela’s. Visions of events and worlds long since destroyed and scattered plague her sleep, yet none of them hold the key she needs to kill the goddess. For those answers, she will have to discover the life before her own.
