Circle of Protection — Matt Forbeck

Palym thought she and her best friend Xiao were on an adventure. They had left their rural home in search of something greater, but neither could have anticipated the monster's attack their first day in the city. Before she knew it, Palym was swept into a world beyond her wildest imagination, the world of the Sidereal Exalted and Yu-Shan.

Where will the road of this Chosen of Journeys take her? And what will become of Xiao, left behind in Creation?

One thing is certain: Palym must forge her own path going forward, even if that means fighting back against the Celestial Bureaucracy itself!
