The Pull

Book Cover & Preview Text
I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t find my voice. Mike had no chance; the haze had caught him by surprise. The haze was inches from his shoulder, ready to smother his frozen body, which was rooted firmly in fear. I winced when I heard Rebecca’s single word, “No!” I couldn’t let Rebecca suffer. I reflexively stepped toward Mike; I knew I could talk Commander Robb into sparing him. We had spent time together and he trusted me . . . At least I think he did before I sprang free from the camp. Regardless, I had to do something. Just as I took a step toward Mike, a hand grasped my arm and pulled me down, hard. I sat stunned for a moment and turned toward the offender, ready to lash out. To my surprise, it was James. He looked at me. “No—stop. Look.” I flung my head around. I could see the cavern, the pool, the haze, and . . . Mike? I was baffled. Mike walked toward us, tiptoeing through the last bit of the haze. His shoulders were hunched and his eyes were constantly moving, glancing at us every second or so. He emerged through the haze unscathed, and still in this world. I looked at Mike and then back at James, who was still holding my arm. He had an astonished expression. “What does that mean?” I choked out. Still looking shocked, James said, “This can mean only one thing. You are a traveler.”

About the Book
Brittany Scott is coasting through the life her parents always wanted for her: a college degree, vet tech school, and now, a great job at a veterinary clinic in her hometown. When a new doctor joins the team, however, Brit realizes how insecurity has kept her in a stagnant existence: she never takes on any challenges, and always keeps people at arm’s length. Brit decides it’s time for a change, starting with her superficial relationships. After recruiting her favorite work acquaintances, she embarks on a road trip of self-discovery. While exploring in Boulder, Colorado, Brit and her friends are approached by a mysterious stranger. Speaking in ancient riddles, he discloses the directions to an Arapahoe legend, the Cleansing Pool, located deep within the Rocky Mountains. With the help of Brit’s friends—and two men they meet along the way—the group discovers that the pool is actually a portal that pulls Travelers through the universe. With the discovery of her rare destiny, the universe is at Brit’s fingertips, and she holds one of the master keys to pass through any door. She must now save our world from a tyrant plotting to avenge his father’s death. It’s a race to the finish line, and human existence is at stake.
