Raine

Fantasy and Sci-Fi Interdimensional Travel

Set in a future failing Earth on the southern California coast, amidst pollution, drought, famine, and rapidly dwindling census, Gideon ekes out a mostly solitary existence. Until he meets a girl on his oily beach. Salemnia, a love and connection stretching across time and dimensional boundaries, brings two lovers—Ashiara (aka Shae) and Gideon—together.

Ashiara hails from Raine, another dimension of prosperous jungle beside a crystalline sea. With the ability to Walk, Ashiara can traverse dimensions at will. Crossing dimensions remains anathema in Raine, but those who avoid execution are dimensional ambassadors. Communicating with other worlds is vital, and the power is worth the risk. Drive evolution and broaden your culture by traveling dimensions, reaching other worlds, breaking down discrimination and barriers to freedom. Growth in knowledge through interdimensional relations, and the possibility of rescuing refugees from dying worlds, are all attainable through the gift of Walking dimensions.

Ashiara believes herself the only Walker alive and wonders if it’s a curse. Gideon, unknowingly connected to both Shae and Raine in myriad ways, believes in this bold girl and her superpowers. Through the lens of love and science in equal measure, several questions emerge:

Can any dimension remain entirely utopic or dystopic? If your dimension was rich and plentiful, would you share? What inherent risks, or hidden gains? If your dimension was dying and you had the chance to leave, would you take it? What would you owe once you arrived?
