Worlds Beyond The End (temporary hiatus)

Twenty years ago the world ended. Hope was the first child born after the apocalypse, and the first human from Earth able to sense and perform magic. Which would be great if she could stop accidentally setting herself on fire. She's only known her small community of survivors in what was once northern England. Earth is no longer whole – it's been mixed together with shards of another world. Most people that venture into the New Lands don’t return, but the few that do are forever changed, granted power by a strange system. When a mysterious elf appears and and warns of an approaching horror that will destroy Hope's home, he also proposes a solution. He promises to take her, and her annoyingly talented best friend Liv, to train under a famous master that can help them control their magic in time to come back and save their settlement. As long as they don't end up abandoned, having to fend for themselves in an unfamiliar world where everyone hates people from Earth, it's a solid plan. And what are the chances of that?
