12 year old Morgan Bergo has spent her entire life thinking she is worthless; thinking she is a waste of space, ever tormented by a terrible monster — a monster her doctors calls Chronic Depression.
When her beloved brother is killed, she attempts to end her life by flinging herself off the highest thing she can find: in this case, the window of her room. She fails, but this near-death experience forces her treacherous brain - the same brain that got her into the situation - to shut her down, sending Morgan spiraling into the darkness residing inside herself...

She wakes up in a world of demons, elves, talking cats, giant dogs, and fairies; but also a world of destruction. A warlord who everyone is afraid to name has taken over the realm: Elgeroth, as the locals call it. And the word is, he's on the hunt for anyone who could take him to the Outerworld, anyone who acts strange, anyone who doesn't know their way around the realm: someone like Morgan. In trying to get away from this fearsome villain, Morgan only draws herself closer to him, eventually being captured by him, and in his dungeon she meets another from the Outer World—someone who understands her, someone who will inevitably make her cold stone heart soften again, and release her heart from the haunting grip of loss, allowing the waters of Love to flow once again. Will she ever escape this world, and the plotting of the malicious warlord? Find out in this thrilling tale of magic, friendship, and adventure by bestselling (not) author The Imperial Battlemage.
