Angeline Laurent is a nobody. Or she would be, if not for the powers that make her somebody.
People who can summon and control magic aren't rare. In fact they're so common there's a name for them: Other Mages. Those who draw from a dark reflection of the world, the Other, to fight against the creatures that come from it, Otherlings.
Angeline Laurent is a mage, yes, but she is also the only one in recorded history able to create portals directly to the Other. An orphan before she knew her own name, Ange has been poked and prodded at ever since her magic manifested. Because while her spells may be powerful, they could also bring about the end of the world.
When her fellow mages begin to vanish, everyone chalks it up to their own negligence. But Ange isn't so easily convinced. Investigating the disappearances leads her down a twisting rabbit hole, and while fighting Otherlings is something she's used to, nothing could prepare her for what awaits along this path.
