Haley always knew she was a little different from the other kids. Not quite 'normal.' But she had never thought just how different she might be until, one day, an armor-plated dragonfly brought a warning. Sorceress Nergalla was coming for her. When Haley discovers her mother's shocking secret, the strange and mysterious world of Ogalon is revealed to her. Haley knows she must go there to release her mother from the sorceress' curse and save her kidnapped twin brother from Nergalla's diabolical plans. Unknown dangers lie ahead, but new allies Tor and his friend Adara agree to help Haley liberate her family-for a price. In order to receive their help, she must undergo punishing training so that she can fulfill an ancient prophecy that will free them and Ogalon from a terrible curse. But she will have to accept her new identity and face one of her greatest fears. Haley quickly learns that her quest is not an easy one. But if she fails, they will all be plunged into a living nightmare. The destiny of a lifetime in a stirring adventure fantasy is just the beginning in this first book of the Ogalon series.
