A young woman awakens on a beach by a shipwreck in a strange, unfamiliar world. Her past is an enigma. She takes the name Lowenna, after a voice (in her mind?) shouts it out, not knowing the name will force her onto a path of mystery and danger. Nor does she realize that almost everyone will hate or fear her, because of the name.

When a dark mage attacks the city of Penbirth, many are killed and children are taken. Despite the discrimination she faces in the city, Lowenna volunteers to rescue the children. With the friends she makes on her journey, Lowenna hunts down the mage and his minions.

Discover the power of her lost race, as she fights for the children, for her friends, and for her life. Be there as she explores her skills and instincts as a warrior using her forgotten powerful magic all while searching for answers about her lost past.

She is Lowenna. The last of her kind. 

Mara's mother forbade any talk of magic. This one rule leads to Mara's denial about all the magical manifestations she sees daily. At 20 years of age she no longer notices seeing Wind Sprites and Ogres --until Aerrvin shows up.

Aerrvin is a Fairy Prince on a quest. He has decided to seek a bride from among the Humans of Seattle. After choosing Mara as his target, and using old magic, he intends to Transform Mara from a Human to a Fairy.

Mara reminds herself of the mantra her mother taught, "Magic is not real." At the same time she encourages  her dreams of flying about each night as a fairy to continue. Eventually, she seeks counseling to determine what is real.

Meanwhile, Morvayne has been spying on Mara all of her life. Some of those within the world of the Faire who practice the art of Dreaming know that she is a central figure in the future of all the world. Morvayne intends to exploit her for his own gain, which he can only do if she comes to believe in the reality of the Faire Realms. Magic is real.

Mara chose to practice a new skill, opening a portal, when Morvayne seized the opportunity to take her captive. Trapped within a force field in a luxury palazzo in Italy may sound like heaven, but it would depend on the company. And Morvayne was not Mara''s idea of a good companion; especially when his goal was to marry her and force her to help him destroy mankind. Fortunately, Mara has Clay with her as well, to mentor and guide her as she learns how to wield her newfound Powers and Light. As the future Queen of all the Realms, Mara''s education must continue despite her current entrapment. Or rather especially because of it. With enough training, and effort on her part, Mara may be able to free herself from Morvayne''s vile presence.
