Portal Of Evil

One brisk winter’s day, seventeen year old Myriah Dawson is swept up from her favorite hangout and into a portal that transports her to the magical world of Magerei, a world plagued by discrimination, hatred, and evil sorcerers bent on destroying everything good and claiming Magerei for their own. Tasked by God to unite the prejudiced people against the sorcerers, she soon meets up with friends, both old and new, who will aid her in her quest, and she uncovers abilities she was unaware she possessed that will be vital to victory. But this quest will not be easy, and Myriah will find her path fraught with adversity. She will have to fight against intense bigotry, overcome heartbreaking betrayal, and witness horrible massacres if she wishes to succeed. Can Myriah end an age-old hatred in time to unite a hostile people in a holy cause? Can she let go of her own pride and trust solely on God for her victory? And what happens when she learns that the people she is fighting for may very well be her own? Will such knowledge prove to be for her benefit or for her destruction?
