On a distant world, Avalys is voted in as the youngest member of her family council. But the new position puts her life in danger when the leader of another powerful family, a man who's wanted her dead for a long time, hears the news.

The shape-shifting assassin Jayd is sent to eliminate her, but he makes the fateful mistake of getting too close to his target and soon realizes he can never go through with it.

When their enemy opens a portal to another dimension and makes an unholy alliance with the demonic entities of that sphere, Avalys and Jayd must unite their special abilities in the hope of defeating their enemy and bringing peace to their world.
