Cora is haunted by the loss of her brother and father ten years ago. But when a fantastical creature emerges from her dreams to tell her that her brother is still alive in another realm, she wants nothing more than to believe. She soon stumbles into the Kingdom of Ismara, where mythical beings roam the lands, magic runs rampant, and chilling creatures are on the hunt.

Cora begins to unravel the mystery of Ismara, soon to learn that a war is coming and that she, along with six other warriors, are the key to securing peace.

As Cora is challenged at every step, she relies on trust, instincts and loyalty to pave the way. But with every step, three things are becoming abundantly clear. First, trust can be gained and lost in a mere breath. Second, instincts are sometimes better left ignored. And third, loyalty comes at the ultimate price.
