What would you do if you were taken so far back in time that you couldn't even contact your own? That is exactly what Sky Harrison needs to discover. After her boyfriend Will gives her a locket, with a clock that only ticks when she's in danger, a mysterious boy named Avai rescues them.

Avai is so far from anyone that Sky has ever seen in her California town, he wears medieval clothing and takes them back to a time of kings and haunting creatures. As the last of a bloodline Sky is forced to have the burden that only she can carry, the key to reaching the Dark King. As Will slowly slips away from her and into the darkness, she turns to Avai. He has his own secrets and a terrible past haunting him as well.

Sky is hunted ferociously through barren landscapes and burned castles, even in her dreams. It is only when Sky begins to accept her desteny that she can find the strength to save not only Will; but the past, present and her future.
