Shaken by his impossible appearance, she steps away—and falls through a portal onto a beach in another universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That’s when Dominick, the man who waylaid Janelle, reveals she is part of a prophecy. It foretells a bizarre future: if Dominick marries Janelle, he’ll depose his twin brother and become Emperor of the land. If Dominick doesn’t marry her, his brother—a brutal tyrant who will do anything to keep his throne—will murder him. Janelle finds herself caught in a conflict that could destroy the realm. If that’s not mind-blowing enough, she discovers books that prove this civilization achieved interstellar travel five \u003ci\u003ecenturies\u003c\/i\u003e ago. Yet now they’re living in a culture that doesn’t have electricity, riding two-horned creatures that definitely aren’t horses, and sword-fighting.
