Between Worlds

Between Worlds follows teenager Eden Moore, who discovers she can travel between Earth and a parallel realm called Intermedia. After finding an ancient artifact, she learns she has inherited the role of Intermedia's guardian and must protect both worlds from destruction. Eden navigates her responsibilities while balancing her normal teenage life, training with mentors in Intermedia, and assembling a team to help her mission. The story moves between contemporary Los Angeles and the strange dimension of Intermedia, where the laws of physics operate differently and mysterious creatures dwell. The novel explores themes of duty, identity, and the weight of inherited responsibility through its teenage protagonist's journey. Its blend of contemporary reality and fantasy elements raises questions about the connections between parallel worlds and the price of keeping them in balance.
