Draconic Portcullis: Steampunk Portal Sci-Fi Fantasy

Aria Bennet’s got a foul mouth and a temper. She doesn’t need a man to save her. She just needs the University to renew her digging permit for those Chilean cenotes. According to her grandfather’s map, it was where the door, the portcullis to another reality, was. It was also the same door that Professor Straus Cruz and his family had been guarding, because behind it a war raged between the humans and the invaders of Earth.

The words “fear” and “no” are not in her vocabulary.

Attraction, yup, let’s go for it, Professor.

Relationships, absolutely not. She’s not a puppy, and she doesn’t need a leash.

Throw her into an alternate reality with a man walking around like he’s a T-bone steak in a suit, well then, it’s time to reassess and prove herself worthy of love.

WARNING: No AI, No BOT. Themes of oppression and slavery include war, hand-to-hand combat, bloodshed, intense violence, and savagery. The narrative includes death, grief, burning, perilous mind torture situations, graphic language, and sexual activities shown on the page. Winged creatures, dragons, and jaguars are popping up in this alternate history of Earth. Readers who are prone to disorientation and those sensitive to these elements should take note and prepare to escape reality and face the storm.
