She is given a choice: spend her last days in peace with her family, or help save another world called Aletheia from a great evil. She chooses to stay. All she wants after this is to make the most of what is left of her life. It seems like this will be possible, despite her guilt, until she learns that Shawn Lawrence-the closest person she has to a friend-has gone to Aletheia in her place. His life now hangs in the balance. Now it is up to Evangeline to save Shawn and race to fix her mistake as a shadow falls over Aletheia and the new friends she finds there. But the clock is ticking.
