Now a Junior in high school, she has only to worry about the troubles of homework and fitting in. But when she starts having strange, frightening nightmares featuring her long-lost father as the main star, the normal life she has fought to maintain begins to slowly unravel. Suddenly, she finds herself struggling to come to grips with both her heartbreaking past and the new questions that her nightmares have brought to the surface.

Here, Katie uncovers the startling truth about her father’s fate, and learns she must fight for a cause she never knew she was destined for. With not only the fate of her lost father, but that of two entire worlds, resting solely on her shoulders, she has no choice but to accept the calling forced upon her—but now she must find a way to live up to everyone’s overwhelming expectations, while trying to win over those who are not so quick to believe that she is the answer everyone is looking for.
