Awakened Affinities — Dianne R. Vincent

Rica, a young woman, stumbles into another world. She awakes in a desert with no water, food, or hope. As she succumbs to dehydration and hunger strange Cat like people find her and help her. She recovers to find herself in a world of magic and science, a world slowly descending into war. Her new friends take her to their home in search of answers to her question of how she had gotten there and how she would get back home. In her search for a way back to the only home she has ever known, she finds friendship, betrayal, and touch of the power that waits within her. Will her journey end in success or disappointment? Will she discover who she really is?
