Aurora is forced to leave her home and the life she knew when she is thrust into a journey across the land of Saylon. Everything she thought she knew will be challenged as she meets monsters and other races. As her world rapidly changes, Aurora must find true strength and learn to hold onto it.

A house of her own, land for hunting, and a cow for milk. These are simple dreams yet all Aurora could hope to accomplish in her life. Then one terrifying night forces her away from home and into a long and dangerous journey. This journey could easily claim her life, but if she chooses not to go, then her life is forfeit. On the road ahead lie lifelong friendships, terrifying enemies, hard choices, and betrayal. Aurora must find a way for her strength to hold out, or she will fall.
