An act of fate saves her life, but puts the life of someone else, and the future of an entire world, at risk. Continuously torn between the world she knows and the world she discovered, Zara's experience with her own inner demons might make her the only one capable of dealing with the demonic shades plaguing of the new world her friend Eli has become trapped in. The answers she needs to find a way home for Eli may lie in the swords of memories, fabled to contain the memories to two heroes of old. But these swords hold more than just the answers to Zara's questions. Others want them too, and for far less benevolent uses.
