Ethan McAran has a reason to believe in the impossible. A red crystal, a vivid dream and the hope of saving his aunt draw him to a dangerous threshold in South Australia’s ancient landscape.

Beyond it lies Isalde: a world calling for his help. To follow that call, Ethan must leave familiar ground behind—and trust a magic he barely understands.

Bloodstone of Isalde is an unpublished adult portal fantasy by David Kernot.
