When Epiphany Rose was just a little girl her mother died mysteriously and ever since then slowly her life had begun to change; over the years her father had begun to slowly morph into a man who was empty and hollow inside. And now years later she was beginning to have dreams; weird, vivid, dangerous dreams that were becoming more and more frequent and harder to awaken from. She finds herself in a strange new world, where danger seems to await her every corner. There is a man with a smile like a turned over crescent moon, a magic woman with skin as white as snow who seems to be more than meets the eye, a man who calls himself Baere, and a dashing prince who is anything but charming: and they all believe that she is the one. The hero who will stand in the path of the Emptiness.
