Justin escapes from his life through fantasy novels, but until today he thought them nothing but fictions, a brief respite from the chaotic world around him. In that, he was wrong.

There they discover the faerie warrior race, the Agruawan, and learn of the bizarre connection that exists between Chimaera and Justinas own world. Justin and his friends attempt to find their way back home, but both worlds are now held in the balance as the evil Lord Prirath, a being of ancient power, plans to gather the sacred icons and rule both worlds. While evading Prirathas clutches, and avoiding the vampiric Cadeak and the destructive Primal swordsmen, Justin, Jesse and Tabitha discover themselves to be the only ones with the power to save Chimaera and Earth. But what is Justinas inborn connection to Chimaera? And can he fulfill his destiny and save both worlds?
