Kay Sanders, twenty, lives with her dad in a small town. Having grown up there, her life is familiar and comfortable, and she has bright hopes for the future.
That is, until she's attacked by a monster one night, and learns she isn't fully human. Spirited away to an unfamiliar world, under the stern watch of an aloof stranger, she must quickly master her newfound magic before the darkness comes for her. Only her powers can keep them at bay.
Turns out, magic is much harder than she imagined, and time is running out.
