Myleala is one of the few remaining Shadow Hunters left in the State. Her job is to find and kill all the evil creatures that come into her world.... At least it is according to Elise, the teenage girl who made Myleala and her entire world out of nothing but pure imagination. Elise soon realizes that the character she calls Myleala may have more substance to her than she thought possible. The two develop a relationship that is unlike any other the world has known: author and fictional character. But is Myleala and her world truly just figments of Elise's imagination, or are they something else entirely? Could the story Elise is "creating" possibly be a message to her from the other side? There's only one way to find out...
