Star's biggest problem used to be homework. Now she's targeted by vicious head-bangers, and she's not good at fighting. She just wants a boyfriend, her father home more often, and a trip to the Mall that doesn't involve giant killer robot dinosaurs or ninja. Plagued with horrible visions out of time, Star knows the HARVEST OF SOULS is coming. The screaming and dying will soon begin, as dimensional barriers collapse and the Dark Lords of Nightmare devour humanity. Star finds hope in her dreams, befriending the Phoenix Prince, an ancient warrior whose eyes hold kindness, but whose sword can devastate time and space. She's shocked to discover that the waking world is just another dream - one of his.
