Amberlyn has only ever really loved three main things in her life: Music, Reading and her little sister, Layla. She thinks she's living a normal life, but that changes when she finds out her parent's aren't really her parent's. She's reluctant to leave behind her sister, having a certain connection with her that she can't describe, but she immediately wants out of that house after finding out this news of her parents. Where did she really come from? Where will she go when she runs away from the only home she's ever remembered? And what happens when she discovers that there's so much more in the world she lives in than she has seen? Can her new friends be trusted? Suddenly, right before her eyes are beings she's never known existed, except for in books. Creatures she has never encountered in her life... Or has she?
