After her mother's mysterious disappearance when she was a child, sixteen-year-old Paxton Graves spent her life just wishing she could escape it . . . until the day she finally did.
She always knew she was different: abandoned by her mother and raised by her cold, distant father, who happens to be the principal of Golden Valley High. And then there were the "episodes": her vivid, almost-too-real dreams that would come at any time, day or night, without warning.
Then one night she finds herself immersed into the world from her dreams, a very real place known as Terra, and face-to-face with a strange boy named Ari, who introduces her to the world she thought only existed inside her mind. But as it turns out, Terra is in grave danger, living under the constant threat of a group that calls themselves "The Fellowship." When she encounters a resistance group called "The Watch" that tells her that her mother might not only be alive but living in Terra, Pax has so many questions.
Now she must decide: Will she go back to her friends and the only life she's ever known, or will she stay and join the resistance so she can find the mother she thought she'd lost?
