The Riftborn Chronicles

In the first installment of The Riftborn Chronicles, The Chronos Engine, Lyra, a historian-turned-guardian, uncovers the truth behind the Rift—a cataclysmic event tearing apart the world. The ancient Raan Empire had attempted to harness the power of the Chronos Engine, a machine capable of manipulating time and space, but it led to their destruction. As Lyra investigates, haunted by visions of twisted dimensions, she learns that her trusted AI companion, Valen, was once human.

The city of Alaris, once the jewel of the realm, now stands as a graveyard of shattered hopes and forgotten dreams. After the devastating battle to close the Rift, Lyra believed the worst was behind her. But as the Echoes—twisted remnants of the past—begin to rise again, she realizes that the Rift's influence never truly left. Lyra is haunted by the loss of Ezran, whose sacrifice helped save the world. Yet even in death, his memory drives her to continue the fight.

In the distant future, where reality itself bends and fractures, Lyra, a young warrior born of the Rift, finds herself at the center of a cosmic struggle between light and darkness. The Rift, an enigmatic force that bridges parallel worlds, has been both a gift and a curse for those who are born from it—empowering them with extraordinary abilities while anchoring them to the mysterious and unpredictable currents of time and space.

The multiverse is fracturing, and the Riftborne stands on the edge of an existential battle. Ancient rifts are opening between dimensions, bringing chaos, dark energy, and nightmarish creatures that have only been whispered about in the darkest corners of reality. The once-stable boundaries that held the multiverse together are crumbling. With it, the fragile order that the Riftborne fought to protect for centuries.
