When angel moves to a new school after the death of her parents, she isn't interested in making friends. Until she meets bavar - a strange boy, tall, awkward and desperate to remain unseen, but who seems to have a kind of magic about him. Everyone and everything within bavar's enchanted house is urging him to step up and protect the world from a magical Rift through which monsters are travelling, the same monsters that killed Angel's parents. But Bavar doesn't want to follow the path that's been chosen for him - he wants to be normal; to disappear. Fighting one another as well as their fears, angel and bavar must find a way to repair the Rift between the worlds, and themselves, before it's too late...
