Fire and Time

Jaxson and his sister Kylar have spent their lives caught in the shadow of conflict between the Federation and the Republic. When their path collides with Aemma, an enigmatic woman carrying secrets from a forgotten past, they are drawn into a struggle that reaches far beyond the war. At the center of it all is the Rift-a mysterious passage through space and time capable of opening doors to unknown glory, distant worlds, lost civilizations, and places that should no longer exist. Joined by Carmen, a fierce survivor and loyal friend, Jaxson and Kylar find themselves aboard the Crown of Thebes, racing to keep the Rift from falling into the wrong hands and becoming a weapon that could reshape the galaxy. But as the mystery surrounding Aemma and the Rift pulls Jaxson in deeper, he realizes that none of this may be happening by chance. Some doors were never meant to be opened. And some can never be closed.
