Rhea wants nothing more than to finish her master’s at Penn State and make her mark on the field of botany. But when she unwittingly crosses the threshold between realms during a forest biology field trip, she discovers universal forces at work that transcend rational scientific explanation.
Plunged into a magical realm on the brink of war and desperate to return home, Rhea enlists the help of Cyrus, the leader of a burgeoning rebellion against the corrupt usurper queen. As Rhea reluctantly falls for the Rebel Prince, she becomes hopelessly embroiled in his treasonous plot, confronts a diverse cast of unforgettable characters, and reexamines the future she once dreamed of.
Dormant magic awakens within Rhea as she unravels the secrets of her family’s mythical bloodline, blessed with dominion over the elements and tasked with protecting the fount of creation. Thwarted by the power-hungry queen and her clairvoyant henchman at every turn, Rhea must learn to unlock the power within, restore the throne to its rightful ruler, and embrace her true destiny to heal both worlds from an ancient malediction.
