Dori Livingston has returned to Balfour, Texas, but she is far from the home she loves. Princess Primrose stole her token to the Otherworld, and she is stranded in the Mortalworld without her gift of kindness and her fiancé, Prince Garret. Dori will stop at nothing to return to her magical life and the man she loves.

After a chance encounter with a mysterious ally, Dori discovers the world she left is darker than before. Not only is her prince missing, but gift magic is dying, and a secret faction of rebels is vying for monarchical control. Dori must take a perilous journey, facing giants, dragons, mermaids, and more to find her prince and to restore the balance of both magic and power.

Through her travels, Dori learns she is more than her gift of kindness and that she was born for far greater things than living a normal life in Texas. She overcomes trials and heartaches, but will she be able to outrun her fate?
