Rift by Steven James

Bestselling author Steven James unveils a gripping tale of loss, longing, and courage in his latest young adult horror trilogy, Rift.

Seventeen-year-old Sahara is sent to live in the Appalachian Mountains while wrestling with the tragic loss of her father in an accident she believes she caused. As Sahara battles her inner demons, a mystical rift between the spiritual and physical worlds triggers a chilling string of paranormal events.

Nightmares bleed into the waking world, and Sahara must unravel the mysteries hidden within the fabric of her own mind to save those she loves.

Her quest leads to a turbulent exploration of self-forgiveness and resilience amidst unimaginable loss. Author Steven James says, "Sahara's grief becomes a potent catalyst as she confronts supernatural forces threatening her town, delving into the intricate connections between personal anguish and unearthly mysteries."

Rift weaves together ancient mountain folklore with universal themes of loss, guilt, and redemption, resulting in a compelling young adult horror novel. Heart-wrenching vulnerability intersects with spine-chilling suspense, carrying readers on an emotional odyssey that grapples with the power of shame, the fragility of certainty, and the courage required to confront the mistakes of the past.

Brace yourself for a roller coaster of suspense as Steven James invites readers on a dark and thrilling ride through the mysterious corridors between worlds.

Scheduled for release on October 29, 2024, the first of three novels will be available through major retailers.
