About the Book

Join Anna Rykov on a perilous journey as she races against time to prevent the cataclysmic union of two worlds. The discovery of a sinister plot orchestrated by the German Thule Society sets Anna’s path in motion, leading her to England where mysterious runes unearthed during a mining survey hold the key to unraveling the impending chaos.

However, Anna’s arrival in England is met with hostility from British authorities, thrusting her into a dangerous game of power and secrets. As she delves deeper into the investigation, Anna’s path takes an unexpected turn—transporting her back to Siashutara, the enigmatic realm foreseen by psychic Brian Teplow and chronicled in his childhood journals. But this Siashutara has undergone a modern transformation, and Anna herself is revealed to be the heretic scion of Nygof, the infamous assassin responsible for the global upheaval known as the Cataclysm.

Imprisoned by a fanatical theocracy that has risen after the reign of Queen Sif of Brynn, Anna finds herself surrounded by alter-egos of her colleagues from Earth. Now, with both Earth and Siashutara hanging in the balance, Anna must escape her captors and unravel the mystery that will prevent the merging of the two worlds, restoring each to their rightful paths.

In this race against an inexorable convergence, Anna must navigate through a web of intrigue, confront ancient foes, and unearth the hidden truths that will shatter the fragile equilibrium between Earth and Siashutara. Will she succeed in her mission to save both worlds, or will the forces of darkness prevail, forever altering the fabric of reality?

“The Worlds I Know” is a pulse-pounding pulp adventure set against the backdrop of the 1930s—a world brimming with danger, treachery, and breathtaking discoveries. As the second part of the Thule Trilogy, this thrilling tale explores the depths of betrayal and redemption, weaving a narrative where the fate of entire realms hinges on one woman’s courage and determination.
