Delinquent

The Passages between worlds are out of bounds for a very good reason, but nineteen-year-old Kay Walker sees them as another challenge. Exploring the monster-ridden tunnels offers a thrill nothing on Earth can match. Until a rivalry escalates into a deadly game, and the lure of magic comes with a high price... This is a standalone novella of around 20,000 words. (The Alliance novels are around 80,000 words each.) Delinquent is set two years before the events of Adamant.
