For twenty years Ivan Leroy had kept hidden the one thing that would enable the evil being of his world to takeover by fleeing to another world. A decade into it, his partner Faith had been murdered, but not before finding a way to keep part of her soul alive. In an act of insanity, or maybe despair, Ivan gave Faith's star to a young child he felt a kinship with. After his own death, the item Ivan spent so many years hiding is brought back into his own world by the pair he gave it to before dying, and the one who wants it will do almost anything to get it. At six she ran away from the town where she had been hospitalized after her father nearly killed her. Nine years later the only things to remind her of those first years of her life are the memories she struggles to put under lock and key, and the gift of a stranger she has nearly forgotten. As Emma flees the town where she has spent almost a year picking pockets in, she unknowingly crosses the border into a different world. Now, with a group of strangers she is forced to trust, Emma must help rid the world she is in of a tyrant if she ever hopes to go home. But as her role to play grows larger, Emma begins to realize that she doesn't want to leave - but with an evil being just inches away from having a book older than time itself that could enable him to enslave the entire of the world she has grown to love in an instant, there may not be much left to stay for.
