Dana's best friend Kitty has died in a car accident, and the only ray of light in the misery is when her grandmother appears in her spiffy red sports car to cheer her up. At the same time a nightmarish shadow appears to hunt Dana and she has to flee from her ordinary life with grandma, who turns out to be something quite different than what Dana had thought - a Huntress of Shadows. The truth about her ancestry is not an easy thing for Dana to accept - she was deliberately created to perform a task, to find something that should stay hidden, or it might threaten the world of humans as Dana knows it. Her existence is tied to the myth of the Nephilim, the descendants of angels, and her creator was someone who commands the forces of chaos and darkness, the source of all horror myths of humankind. Dana learns there is a world of shadows, the afterlife, dreams and time travel, surrounding the physical world, hidden behind a thin veil - and that there are ways to enter it from the physical world. Dana has no option - she is being hunted by creatures of darkness, and the hunt can only end in either Dana and everyone she loves being captured and turned into creatures of darkness - or Dana finding what she was created to find. Her hunters have skills no ordinary human can escape - but Dana is not an ordinary human. Nor is Daniel, the leader of a hidden Center fighting the darkness. Together with a chosen team they could travel the Unseen Worlds that surround the physical world, into the past, following a clue written down in ancient Egypt, and then walk the Trail of Angels, and find the hidden mystery before the dark creatures do. Dana must prepare for a long search in another time and place, knowing that both she and Daniel are wanted and hunted by the darkness. At stake is her love, and the destiny of the human kind.

Eventually, she grew tired of it and at the age of fourteen, she was permitted to leave Empyrea and live life as a normal creature, away from the discriminating eyes of her father's people. It's been five years now and Esmeray, who turned out to be a godsend of a beauty is a member of the most famous line of young celebrities in this generation. Why would she even think of setting foot in Empyrea again when her life as a human being is a life dreamed of by many?

In Empyrea, the land hidden beneath the draping curtains of the horizon, there exists human-like creatures in control of two different forms of magic, light and dark. Solaris is an honored princess from the Lands of Light. As a possessor of intelligence inherited from her father, the Wise King, it is said that she too, has the potential to rule the Kingdom. She was pampered and given more than she could ask for. That is, until the eve of her sixteenth birthday, the same night the Queen was found with a broken neck in one of the castle towers. Overcome by grief, the Wise King became increasingly mad and ordered the captivity of every Empyrean in the castle present at that time including his own son and daughter. Soon enough, Solaris became aware that someone is behind her family's devastation and if she doesn't do something, will be responsible for her end as well. Forced to flee from Empyrea and seek refuge on the other side of the horizon, Solaris is determined to come back to her kingdom and rule it again, in the name of her family. But how will someone with absolutely no clues, start a dangerous hunt for a killer? Two and a half years later, Solaris is studying in a university to become a professor of fine arts. While reading a book in the library, she comes across an exceptionally detailed map of her kingdom that when touched by magic, changes into an exact blueprint of the palace with its hidden walls, corridors and rooms. Armed with the map and persistence, she is finally ready to return to the place she once considered home... and seize the throne for herself.
