Alora Pullman (Al for short) is swept into a world where magic is common, and monsters aren't just bedtime stories. At first, this world seems like the place she's been looking for (especially compared to her old life), but all is not as it seems. Darkness falls upon Al's new home and her old life crumbles to pieces. To top it off, she finds something about herself that leaves her stunned with no place to call home. How will Al handle her situation? Will she make it through?
