Plagued by the daily tortures of living in an abusive home and haunted by the mystery surrounding her adoption, Iliana tries to focus as her final exams loom. However, everything she knows is put into question when a dark creature appears in her town of Walkers Fall, and tries to kill her.

She is then whisked away into the Otherworld, where faeries guard gates to other domains, a mad queen reigns and wild bandits roam freely. Iliana finds herself chased continuously by an unknown enemy in a foreign world, and is forced to trust no one yet question everything she knows about herself.

Realising she finally has a chance to find her real family, she seeks them out. But will the truth she's yearned for so long offer closure, or unfold an existence paved with strife?

Her inheritance, Iliana may find, could cost more than anything she's ever endured.
