Dr Jessica Atkins wants nothing more than to see the Emergency Department she works at in her rear view mirror. Overworked and on the verge on burnout, her much anticipated vacation in the idyllic coastal town of Ravens Nest is railroaded when her paths cross with an injured and insanely handsome mystery man. An elderly hooded priest entrusts Martin's unresponsive body in her care, pleading with her not to take him to a hospital or phone the police. Fleeing for his life, the sacred and obscure pathway linking the parallel world of Orion leads Martin's bruised and battered body literally falling at Jessica's feet. Haunted by the betrayal he had just witnessed and fearful for his sister's life; as Margot would now be forced into ruling over a war torn world in his absence. Martin struggles to come to terms with waiting out the required time in his new reality on Earth and resisting the beguiling allure of the stranger tending to him. Torn between her duty of care, disbelief in the existence of another world, and an impossible attraction for a man she hardly knows, Jessica utilizes the only resources available to her in Ravens Nest. The medical facilities offered at the local veterinary clinic owned by eccentric veterinarian, Jack Foster. Navigating meddlesome small town politics with a Sheriff she despises; a raging tropical storm that causes havoc and unexpected family illness, Jessica tends to Martin, setting in motion an interwoven tempestuous journey where hearts, cultures and indeed worlds collide. Jessica and Jack unwittingly follow the pathway into Orion when trying to assist Martin, creating a chain reaction of unstoppable events. Can they find some middle ground to rescue and protect the ones they love, bring perpetrators to justice and alter the course of history? Lives will be forever changed and no one is left unscathed in this gripping adventure.
