Even a move across the country isn't enough to give her peace. Then she meets Brian West - the handsome, mysterious horse trainer - and she begins to feel safe. The closer their friendship grows, the safer she feels - until the day she decides not to heed his warning. Anne finds herself in Harmony, a land where dragons are real and people perform strange magic. With Brian as her bodyguard, she begins to discover that she has a much greater destiny than she imagined. But her father is never far behind, and he harbors a dangerous secret that threatens the life of every person Anne cares about.
