Skylar Demay has just turned sixteen, the age in which she gets her Timestamp. This lens is put into your eye and it displays a countdown on your arm, counting down to the moment you will meet your true love. Skylar has never given love much thought. She is also about to take a test that will determine her match and job, among other things. Her school, Reichenback Academy for Girls, isn't exactly what it seems to be. At Reichenback, Skylar trains to take care of the studying and disposal of Shifties, vicious shape-shifters that attempt to plague the populace. Though she shows exceeding potential at Reichenback, she is deemed better off at Bladeline University for Boys, where she will train to hunt, kill, and occasionally bring in Shifties for Reichenback Girls to study. When a twist in the story reveals itself, Sky finds herself not so opposed to the Shifties that she was taught since childhood to be evil.

All that it took was one decision. One choice... To change your own life. Meet Skylar Amy Knowlton, your normal 16-year old with a keen interest in examining insects. Whilst wandering around the green fields of her run-down neighborhood, she comes across a particularly unusual, unique and beautiful butterfly. And without knowing it, she followed her own impulse to follow and study it... Only to run for a while into the cave that her sickly mother once warned her to stay away from on account of what happened to her father 9 years previously. This vast, dark and unexplored cave thus leads her on an Adventure she could've only imagined as it led her to a world of wonder. Welcome to Mendwall, a paradise world where we can live in unity and happiness.... Wait.... Did I say unity and happiness..... I did... The world is supposedly run by a corrupt king who is guarding a secret... And in this world... Humans are refered to as "God-like" beings with a vast set of skills and abilities. And out of all of their folk-tales and legends... One particular story is one that the king wants to keep under wraps... One story having to do with him... A story so descriptive that the king targets the unfortunate Renegus and will stop at nothing to kill Skylar... Skylar must continue to be vigilant in order to escape his grasp... So Skylar must join up with the Recktors... Or she will be a goner and will never be able to go back home...
