Every Sunday night for the past four months, Jacob Tamer has met the same girl in his dreams: Sara, a fox-eared mage-in-training with a sharp laugh and silver-blonde hair. They talk about everything and nothing, never quite able to touch, always saying goodbye when the distant bell rings. Jacob thinks it's just the best part of an otherwise exhausting life: college, dead-end shifts at a coffee shop, and a wealthy family he's trying to escape.
Then one ordinary morning, the floor vanishes beneath him.
Jacob is ripped from Earth and hurled across the void toward a world of floating continents and living forests. A gentle, ancient presence catches him just before he dies on impact, an enormous fox spirit named Ebony, Guardian of the northern woods, who saves his life the only way she can: by forging an emergency soul-bond that ties her heart to his.
He wakes on a remote farm in Foxnora, a land of fox-eared Foxnorans, crumbling kingdoms, and a creeping darkness that has already swallowed the south. The shy but fierce fourteen-year-old Lilly hid him in the barn, unsure whether the scarred ex-soldier father now walking toward the door will see a patient... or a threat.
Jacob has no mission, and no idea why he was summoned instead of falling straight into the Dark Prince's hands. The only thing he's certain of is that somewhere in this world is a newly apprenticed mage who might finally be able to touch him back, if she even remembers the boy from her dreams.
