Charming Moon Knight’s future in paleontology looks set—safe teaching jobs or she can stay in school. But she longs for adventure, not lecture halls. When a mysterious invitation arrives from the Paleo Institute in Settler, Oregon, promising fieldwork and the chance to study Mesozoic marine dinosaurs, she can’t resist.
Settler seems like a quiet town nestled inside an ancient caldera, yet strange visions of a plesiosaur and an undeniable connection with the enigmatic Earl Blacke hint at something more. Charming craves family and belonging, but what she discovers is a community guarding secrets as deep as the rift in the nearby forest—a portal where creatures from other universes slip through.
To protect this fragile world, a hidden group known as the Rifters stands watch. And for Charming, this quiet town might just hold her destiny—if she’s ready to face the unknown.
