The Dorn Expedition
Alec Dorn, Cyrus Dorn, Nelida Yore, Jack Viana, and Dalton Sydney set sail aboard an Expedition Vessel from 1935 New York and vanished without a trace...
Marooned on an island after an inexplicable bend in reality, they find a parallel world inhabited by a civilization on its knees and a violently eccentric tyrant commanding fealty.
In this strange land, danger lurks around every corner, but so does opportunity. And the thing about opportunity…it beckons to those with weak wills and hungry ambitions.
Brothers they may be, but Alec and Cyrus Dorn are forced to face their own morality, and relationships that should not be tested begin to fray...
Allies become enemies, rogues become leaders, and the forgotten become legends. But leaving ones mark on history comes at a cost,
for not all those who obtain great power are fit to wield it...
"A believable fantasy tale similar in style to the classics of yore... Somewhere is a delightful fantasy story and a poignant reminder that who we are as a person is oftentimes an illusion of circumstance."
