The Great and Terrible

When twenty-year-old college dropout Moriah Shaker ducks into an empty chapel to escape a sudden storm, she's catapulted into another world, Wizard of Oz style. Unfortunately, she lands in Hakeldama, a brutal, fantastical realm where the powerful never pay for their crimes, and the innocent always do. Worse, Moriah is next on the chopping block.

Desperate to get home, she sets her sights on the City of Lux, where a rumored portal between worlds may exist. Along the way, she gathers the most unlikely allies: a scrappy hustler, a disgraced ex-mayor, and a growing beast-dog with a taste for trouble. Most dangerous of all is Jasher, a ruthless executioner whose cold exterior hides a monstrous secret... and a past bound to hers in ways neither of them understands.

As bounty hunters, winged monsters and lethal poppies arise, Moriah discovers the greatest threat isn't the world trying to end her. It's falling for the man whose heart is encased in steel.
