Kaelyn Anderson lives a charmed life. She's got a great job as an advertising designer, a cute boyfriend she met in a bar, and a loving father and brother. Not bad for a girl brought up as the daughter of a king in a small medieval town outside Asheville, North Carolina. However, on her twenty-sixth birthday everything changes, leaving Kaelyn lost on a path between what is real and what is pretend.

Under the protection of Jack, an Elf prince, Kaelyn searches the mountains and Cherokee lore to find the answer that will protect her people from invaders from another world. Along the way, she discovers a love she'd never imagined and a fate she never would have chosen.

But will she have the time to enjoy any of it?
