Raina dreams of being perfect - of being gorgeous and flawless in every way.

On her thirteenth birthday, the insanity begins. A mysterious voice speaks of past lives and old legends. Of fairytales, and everything she's ever wanted.

Slowly, the memories appear. Memories that seem like they've always been there. Memories of... a past life time.

When she discovers her past, she begins a search. A search for her lost loved ones, scattered all around Earth - and who she really is. But she finds that her little group of adventurers may be keeping deadly secrets.

On the run, there's no turning back. And yet, that isn't the hardest part.

Between deciphering old legends, struggling to survive, and discovering the past, Dana realizes that she only has two utterly impossible choices - betraying her destiny or denying her fate.
