The Glimmer and The Gloom: Release Date 01/11/2025

The Glimmer and The Gloom: Rylan pressed his fingers together, summoning his Aura of Order—that cold, precise energy that had kept him alive and functioning for longer than he cared to remember. It spread outward in careful waves, temporarily stabilising the Threshold. Buying time. That's all he ever seemed to do anymore. Buy time for people who were running out of it.

The fracture pulsed, and through it, he caught a glimpse of the other world. The real world, as the Travellers always called it, though Rylan wasn't sure either world was more real than the other.

He saw a girl. Sixteen, maybe seventeen. Brown hair. Pale face. Eyes wide with panic. She was running through a hallway—fluorescent lights, lockers, the unmistakable markers of a human school—and her hands were beginning to glow.

She didn't know it yet. Couldn't see what Rylan saw. But the Glimmer had awakened in her.
