Kate Dena thought she was heading home one dreary evening. What she was really heading for was an adventure of a lifetime in a world of fantasy, magic, and romance.

Flung into a world she doesn't understand and with magical powers she never knew she had, Kate finds herself adrift in a sea of confusion and conjury. Her best anchor turns out to be an attractive stranger who takes her under his wings, literally, and shows her the beauty his world has to offer.

Unfortunately, beneath that beauty there festers a terrible evil in the form of the King of Shadows, and he desires Kate above all else. Together the two must work together to escape from the clutches of the wicked king, even if that means eluding his agents across an entire kingdom. Along the way they learn more about each other, and as their journey takes them through bawdy taverns and under troll-infested bridges, Kate begins to realize that she's falling for her handsome hero. Will she survive long enough to enjoy her newfound romance?
