But it's the small stories that keep the mechanics turning.

Working as a historian in one of the premiere research museums on her current planet of residence, Jackie gets to see ancient history of the connected worlds of The District pass in front of her on a daily basis.When Jackie is charged with transporting a strange tablet, she thinks it'll be a nice, off-world trip with her not-quite-girlfriend, Anaraxis. A mercenary escort certainy adds some weight to the trip. After an encounter with train robbers forces them off in the darkness of the forest, they make an unlikely ally in an injured vampire. When his only just barely human step sister arrives, things only get stranger. Now wrapped up in intergenerational family conflict, Jackie learns that the secrets of the District run deep.

Jackie  was a normal teenage girl until she was zapped through a portal to a fantastical world of elves and sylvan and magic and other remarkable people and things. So what else do you do but go to school, get a job, and start working at a prestigious history museum as a research historian. Along with her friend Anaraxis, she's pulled into a world of gray market antiquities dealers and train robbers. Barely escaping with their life from vampiric pursuers, Jackie and Anaraxis find themselves dropped onto another world completely, unsure how to get back to civilization. When they're brought to an archeological dig, secrets of the artifacts that have haunted their summer so far start to unfold. This sends them on a cross- and inter- world journey not just to get home, but to finally find the bottom of everything once and for all.
