Kelsey Cafferty has been dead for seven years, or so her sister Regan believes, until a stranger with a blue flame upon his cheek, identical to the one on her shoulder, shows up on her doorstep. The man, Peter Canterville, tells Regan that he is a mage from Daradawn, chosen by the Power at birth and marked with the blue flame, as is she.
Kelsey isn't dead, the man says, she has become a warrior and fights for Queen Tessa, against the dark mage, Dirkk, a battle they are losing.
Regan's power will make the difference. She must come with him through the rift, and into Daradawn, to save his world, and her sister, Kelsey.
