This 2-book boxset contains Broken Realms (Book 1) and Broken Souls (Book 2).Book 1: Mara Lantern doesn’t believe in metaphysical powers and alternate realities. That’s about to change.
After a jetliner plunges into the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon, everyone survives. So why do crash investigators have a hangar full of bodies, one for each passenger except Mara? Before the plane goes down, she glimpses a new reality, one with scales and snouts, fangs and gills. She sees a boy running down the aisle carrying a ball of blue light, chased by a girl who could be her clone. By trying to help, she unwittingly unleashes dozens of creatures on an unsuspecting world and sparks a series of events that threatens her life, her family and everything she believes. To save them, she has to embrace a power she cannot comprehend.
Book 2: The spirit of a dead man goes viral. He possesses dozens of people, evicting their souls and causing their bodies to decompose even though they are still alive. You see, in the alternate reality from which Juaquin Prado hails, when a person dies, his spirit is interred, not his corpse. So when Prado gets killed in a botched bank robbery, his soul, left unattended spreads like a disease.
As if Mara Lantern doesn’t have enough to worry about. Now, in addition to mastering her new metaphysical powers and having a mentor with a propensity for turning into a dragon, she must deal with mindless rotting people roaming the streets of Portland, Oregon.
Note: This series is best read in order. Readers should begin with Broken Realms (The Chronicles of Mara Lantern, Book 1).
