The First Key Of Kalijor

An amazing story from a debut author, The First Key of Kalijor follows the adventures of Riana and her sister Katrina as they seek out their mother who has gone mysteriously missing. The twins learn a great deal as they chase across the mythical world of Kalijor, but nothing can prepare them for the reality of their world when it all, finally comes crashing down around them.

With Neo-Tokyo in flames, time is against Riana and her friends. As they try to discover Anja’s end-game, Riana’s status as the most wanted person in the solar system will force her to make deals with people she’d rather not owe favors to, all so she can have some hope of saving the people and worlds she loves. In Kalijor, efforts to uncover the remaining artifacts will find resistance and support from different quarters, taking Riana and her friends from the familiar lands of Rathalon and Pandoria to the forbidding Isle of Magic. It’s a race against the clock as they try to unravel the mysteries of the artifacts and use them to stop Anja once and for all. Can they see their trials through to completion and keep Riana from succumbing to the power of the artifacts?

Within the virtual world of Kalijor, a small group of adventurers, pursued by Malice and his band of mercenaries, carry the third key of Kalijor. Riana and Katrina race to catch up, Jumah and Exodus in tow. What they find leaves everyone grasping for answers. In the real world, the search for Gregory Shantal continues in earnest. Certain that he is connected with the keys of Kalijor, Riana refuses to let him be. She will stop at nothing to prove that he is working with, or perhaps is, Malice. Further complicating things, she suspects that Xavier may be pulling everyone's strings from on high, but to what end? Beyond a shadow of a doubt, there is much more to Kalijor than just a game and whoever uncovers the secret first will be able to guide the course of the future for generations to come. The path ahead is unclear, the stakes are higher than ever, and everyone is playing for keeps!

The tensions between Solidarity Online and the Conglomerate's corporations are mounting. The artifacts unlocked by the Keys of Kalijor are at the heart of the problem as the virtual world of Kalijor leaks into real world of 3045 A.D. and Riana's strange connection to both has granted her powers that defy not only logic, but the laws of physics. However, there's a new wrench in the works. While Riana thought she was unique, a new player arrives with her looks and abilities, but with an agenda all her own. Now, Riana must gather her friends and family close as she sets out to discover how the death of a player's avatar can cause the death of the player themselves and find a way to keep that knowledge from falling into the wrong hands. The stakes are rising as everyone scrambles to find the Fourth Key of Kalijor...

Betrayed and taken hostage, Katrina has been missing for six months now. Time in which Riana has been scouring the world for her. The first key is in Xavier's hands and the world is in danger if the rest of the keys can't be found. With the singing sensation, Resonance, leaving clues for her, the path Riana treads leads her and a small group of new friends straight to a dragon's doorstep, and into the real secrets unlocked by the five keys. But can she solve the riddle in time?
