About the book

Riftfall: Beyond the Rift

The Lyrid meteor shower was supposed to be a dazzling celestial event. Instead, it became humanity’s darkest hour. When colossal meteors of unknown material crashed to Earth, billions perished. Civilisation crumbled. And in the wake of destruction, something impossible appeared - glowing portals leading to new worlds.


Only the Riftborn, those with a rare genetic anomaly, can step through the gates unharmed. For everyone else, crossing the threshold means certain death. Or at least, that’s what the world believed…
Rae is another survivor trying to rebuild her life. She has no Riftborn genes, no special abilities. But when she stumbles too close to a portal, something impossible happens. She falls through. Trapped in an alien world where monstrous creatures hunt without mercy, Rae must fight to survive, searching for a way home.


But as she journeys deeper into the unknown, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about the rifts, the Riftborn… and herself. Because if she isn’t supposed to be here, why did the portal let her in?

From the Author

Hi, my name is Lea.

I'm neurodivergent and the proud partner in crime to a mischievous ginger spaniel. I find it much easier to write about fictional characters than about myself!

My debut novel is a labour of love, blending my passion for storytelling with the unique way I see the world.
