Ayla thinks she’s your average comic-book geek until the day a space fold forms in her backyard. When her father drags Ayla through to the other side, she discovers an alien world. Her birthplace. Karanik. 

Back on a world she’s never known, Ayla doesn’t know who she is anymore. Gone are the ideas of being a simple geek slogging through life in Colorado. Instead her long-lost sister sees Ayla as a sort of messiah. Her grandmother wants to shape Ayla into a ruthless warrior matriarch. The boy who’s been crushing on her all summer, somehow wound up on Karanik too and has gone missing. 

When a species of soul drinking creatures infest Earth, it's up to Ayla to stop them. If she can't, they'll consume everyone in Colorado and beyond.
