REALMS APART (360 pages) is an urban fantasy novel set in both, modern-day Earth, and the fantasy realm of Faetir. It is the second novel of the Portal and Key Chronicles, and a sequel to "Blood Bonded" (Austin Macauley, 2021).

Eva Higgins has returned to Earth after escaping the clutches of Ceann Olc on Faetir. The Olc, who killed her best friend, Derek, forced Eva to use her powers and portal back to her home on Earth. She has lost her blood bonded mate, Calder, and is no closer to finding answers about her powers or her past. Worse still, coming back to Earth has put Eva in the crosshairs of her old nemesis, Mr. Roper. She strikes a precarious truce with him after they discover their common enemy, Ceann Olc.

As pieces are moved around the board, Eva portals back to Faetir to seek alliances in a war to defeat the Olc. Eva's world is shattered, though, when she uncovers two secrets. One kept from her by her Most Trusted, Brynjar, and the other by her enemy, Ceann Olc. Eva is left with a choice, stay true to her convictions, or follow her heart.
