A modern young woman. A magical realm in danger. A destiny she refuses to embrace.
Becky Jones is as independent as they come, a marketing executive determined to succeed on her own terms. But her career plan goes sideways when two men try to kill her – and her rescuer whisks her away to an enchanted realm. Her realm.
In Tsinia she is Thya, heir to the throne and gifted with magical abilities, destined to fulfil an ancient prophecy. Her people are kind and peaceful, desperate to forget the evil that looms over them. When she refuses a betrothal to an enemy prince to stop the oncoming war, her act of rebellion sparks old tensions and threatens the future of the kingdom.
As well as battling to save her kinsmen, she is battling with a power within her that is threatening to take over her body, mind, and soul. All while falling for one whose heart she can never have. Thya must find a balance between her needs and those of her people, but in order to do so, she must fight against destiny itself – and forge her own fate, no matter the cost.

Darthorn's messengers had returned from Earth and were telling their master about the strange land and what had occurred.
“You are confident that she was damaged, Faldor?”
“Tis assured, master. How badly could not be sighted. Pacer comprehends those primitive weapons better than I.”
“And you state the humans were also targeting Thya?” Darthorn inquired.
“Tis so, master. Though I sighted not weapons, they are hostile people.”
“Interesting,” remarked Darthorn.
Kovon had heard enough and entered. He walked straight up to the warlord, knelt on one knee, and kissed Darthorn's hand. “I retain information from Jakar, Father. Thya has entered Tsinia, though she is gravely hurt. Tis doubtful she will survive. Jakar informs me that Valcan, their healer, is with her and has been for some duration.”
Darthorn turned to his son. “This is cheering to discover. So, the mission was a success. Absent of Thya, I will persist in my plan to rule Tsinia. Once I possess the power of the Changlins naught will prevent me.”
Darthorn addressed his messengers. “You have done well and will be rewarded. Depart.”
Faldor and Pacer turned to leave.
Before they could leave, Kovon called out. “Is she…is she everything they express?” he asked.
“I had sight for only a brief instant,” Pacer answered. “She is ordinary, like the entire human race. I did not note any uniqueness.”
Kovon dismissed them with a wave of his hand, leaving father and son alone.
