    About this ebook

    In a realm hidden from ours, chaos reigns after the assassination of the ruling Solas Beir and the kidnapping of the infant heir to the throne. An attempted rescue ends in betrayal when an ancient curse is unleashed, trapping the queen of Cai Terenmare between her world and ours. To save the prince, the queen’s champion must retrieve the sigil of the Solas Beir, and so the treacherous quest for the Sign of the Throne begins.

    Years later, Abby Brown, teenage underdog, is thrust into the middle of the battle between those who serve the Light, and the Kruorumbrae, creatures of a more predatory persuasion. Led to the queen through a series of dreams and a frightening brush with a sadistic, bloodthirsty creature, Abby soon discovers that David Corbin, the handsome young man she sees in her dreams, is the key to it all. As the lost heir and future Solas Beir, he is the chosen one who may be able to keep evil from taking over his world and hers, but even heroes need a little help.

    From the trapped queen, Abby learns about her extraordinary destiny as someone who can see the future and communicate with others through dreams, as well as her vital role in the Solas Beir’s return. Unfortunately, David has been shielded from the truth and knows nothing of his origins or the monsters who seek to kill him. Under the spell of the Kruorumbrae, David has led a life of privilege, oblivious to the fact that his life has been a lie.

    But how can an ordinary girl convince someone of his real identity? How can she overcome the love blossoming inside enough to help protect him? With only days before the evil is unleashed, can Abby succeed at saving the kingdom, and her own world, from utter devastation?
