World-walker — Melisa Michaels

Melisa Michaels' newest novel, World-Walker, is a tale of alternate realities, love, and the possible destruction of the universe. The creation of Central, with its corps of trained world-walkers, signaled the beginning of the end of the Ages of Chaos, but it took generations to restore peace, order, and the integrity of the worlds. It is common wisdom that unregulated travel between the countless parallel worlds that make up our universe weakens their boundaries and in the long term threatens them all. But common wisdom is not always accurate. Suli Grail is a world-walker whose sworn duty is to uphold the integrity of worlds. Jesse Farrell, known to Central as the Other, was Suli's lover . . . until he stole her gatestone so he could walk where he pleased, searching for the one perfect world that would bring him peace. In his travels, the Other enters the world of another Jesse Farrell, thus knocking him out of it. Now Suli must capture or kill her lover. Jesse Farrell must find his way back to his world without losing the woman he has come to love in his new world, and the Other must face his past to learn the secret of the gates between worlds . . . or die trying.

Melisa Michaels lives in North Dakota.
