Krissa needs to find the portal and figure out how to use the magical key she found before the people who killed her parents find it, otherwise her parents' sacrifice meant nothing and an entire world will be in danger. But nothing makes sense to her since arriving at "Grandma" Athey Boske's farm. How can she save an entire world when she didn't even remember it existed? Magical powers, sword fights, portals to another world, creatures that shouldn't exist on Earth... How can any of this be real? Is Krissa really the Chosen One in some old prophecy?
