Lyris Radlek’s normal school life is turned on its head when she learns that she’d only half human. Worse, she has a destiny she never asked for and doesn’t want: to save Dandelorn, her father’s world, from a desolate fate at the hands a vengeful goblin. Lyris refuses her assignment until a heart-wrenching event changes her mind, and she is challenged to survive in a natural world without stores or cell phone coverage – let alone electricity or running water. In addition, her older cousin Darla, who is completely human, has dropped into Dandelorn behind her, and Lyris is faced with the task of sending her home. When Darla falls in love with the debonaire goblin, priorities change. To prove that he would not only ruin Dandelorn and the Earthworld but Darla’s life as well becomes Lyris’ greatest challenge. Only her wits and strength of character will make a difference and protect her from her darkest foe: herself.
