A gifted psychiatrist, Daniel Dodson is perfectly aware that he's in a tough place personally following the death of his wife. Then a mysterious new patient offers a welcome professional distraction. The world of swords and magic that Tenai so vividly remembers obviously isn't real. The deadly enmity and long war that left such deep emotional scars plainly symbolize something else. But Daniel uses the signposts of those confabulated memories to aid Tenai in building a new life for herself in the real world... ...until Tenai's enemies pull her back into her world of dark magic and darker betrayal. Daniel, pulled with her, finds himself fighting to protect Tenai, his own daughter Jenna, and himself in a struggle that threatens to plunge the world back into a war that may never end.
