When the disease strikes his closest friend, Travis is drawn back to Eldh, where the same epidemic, known as the Burning Plague, is wreaking another kind of havoc. There, in a realm of gods and monsters, myths and runecraft, Travis and his former companion Grace Beckett--herself from Earth, but now living on Eldh--must solve the riddle of the plague. Where did it come from? What is its purpose? And how can it possibly be stopped...before it completely destroys two coexisting worlds: ancient Eldh and modern Earth. show less

I read this some time ago. I remember I liked the female protagonist, Grace, more than Travis, the male protagonist. Travis is gay (which is fine), but we don't find that out until two or three books into the series, which is annoying, because it feels like the author just kind of stuck that in. Why wouldn't we know from the beginning?

I remember I liked certain aspects of this series, but it was an odd mix of epic fantasy and corporate thriller, which sometimes sat uneasily on the page.
These aren't bad but I just don't engage with the main characters
