FUN FACT: becoming a reigning monarch doesn’t happen overnight. If you’re
serious about world domination, you must prioritize your time, set a realistic
plan, and create attainable goals. Also, it helps if you’re from a long line of
evil queens gifted with magic that can control legions of nightmarish
monsters.

And it certainly doesn’t hurt if you have a quartet of handsome, highly
capable knight marshals at your beck and call as well.
But even then, plans don’t always go as, well, planned.
Like when you finally cross into the world your people came from more
than a hundred years ago and you realize you transported yourself atop an
impassable ledge.
I blink as I step through the veil of the threshold, shivering as the magic
tingles over my body. Aparia stretches before me, vast and barren under a
black velvet sky. Shadowed monoliths tower in the distance, and jagged,
eroded hills rise behind them.
To be honest, it looks a lot like the landscape we just left. Except we
weren’t on top of a cliff a moment ago—we were in a narrow slot canyon,
embraced by the towering slick-rock walls. And it certainly wasn’t cold.
Thanks to my keen deductive skills, I’m confident we’re not in Utah
anymore…even if the terrain is bizarrely similar.
“This is inconvenient,” Teagan sighs, making a tsking noise as if the
gaping canyon in front of us is no more than a minor nuisance. “I believe
there used to be a way to cross.”
He nods toward two stone columns that stand at the ledge. They eroded
long ago. Perhaps a rope bridge spanned the fifty-foot drop to the cliff across
from us at one time, but that doesn’t do us a lot of good now.
My eyes drift to the sky above. Millions of stars shine overhead, brighter
than I’ve seen in my life, yet there are no familiar constellations to make the
vast world feel like home.
And here, there is silence. The kind of silence I haven’t heard since
before the midnight creatures started tugging at my awareness, demanding
my attention at all hours of the day.
I close my eyes, breathing in deeply.
Whatever lives on this side of the threshold doesn’t know me. I’ve never
used my magic on these animals, never called them or sent them away.
For the first time in a year, I am no one.
