| Glynn and Ember Flanders are vacationing on a small Greek island, knowing that it could very well be the last holiday Ember ever takes. Ember is dying from a brain tumor that has left her partially blind. The last night of their holiday Glynn takes a moonlit swim. She is a strong athletic girl, but she gets into trouble, and is pulled under the water. Fortunately she is saved from drowning by an enigmatic young windwalker named Solen. Glynn realises that somehow she has been transported to another world. In the care of Solen, Glynn must hide her identity, as she struggles to find a way back to Earth and her dying twin sister. | ||
