Headstrong and always facing tasks head-on, Amanda Covington finds herself frozen with indecision about her family’s future in the extraordinary world of Tuala. As a young woman in the prime of her life, she desperately searches for her missing twin daughter, Jena, before she can consider returning to Earth. Fearing she has outstayed her welcome with the Kesh family, Amanda requires drastic life changes again when pursuing the next avenue for locating her daughter. Can she leave the safety of the family she has grown to love, possibly forever, and forge new relationships to achieve her goal?

Petre MacVeen, the source of all Amanda’s troubles, devises payback against Elder Debbon for cheating him on Jena’s betrothal contract. Blinded by rage and vengeance, Petre’s carelessness causes his water craft to be spotted by a passing vessel. No longer can he operate with impunity in his native world; Petre is a wanted man. An arrest warrant makes it impossible for Petre to execute his own plans, so he must rely on deception and other people to achieve his goals. When Petre’s plans to harm Debbon’s family becomes known, he relocates the object of his obsession, forever out of his reach. Petre shifts gears to exact revenge, following Elder Debbon’s movements to Durseni, unknowingly maneuvering himself into discovering Amanda is still alive.

The Return Of Petre

After two anons of Petre’s obscurity, his reappearance prompts Amanda to visit Captain Ahn and Barla. Only then does she discover that Petre must be the father of her twins, making her more fearful of him learning of Juila existence. Living with the shadow of Petre in her everyday life causes Amanda to become cautious rather than carefree. When Barla arranges for her daughter, Rasa, to assist Amanda in her search for Jena, Amanda takes a leap of faith and agrees to move to Durseni.

Riccan Stel, an Engineering Manager, works long hours to fill the emptiness in his life. When he interviews an intriguing woman with stellar recommendations, Riccan gets to know her personally. As Riccan’s feelings for Amanda grow, especially after discovering Jehoban has blessed her more than she knows, he dares to ask her out.

Amanda’s sacrifice of safety with the Kesh family is rewarded by the friendship she finds with Riccan. Amanda feels drawn to Riccan, both because of his looks as well as their shared interests. Up to that point, she had not even considered starting a relationship with anyone from Tuala. Riccan’s strength and thoughtfulness have captured her heart.

Petre arrives at the same restaurant where Riccan, Amanda, and Juila have gone. Amanda realizes her worst fears since Petre could discover them at any second. They manage to escape; however, Riccan begins to ask questions that Amanda feels compelled to answer. His support for her dilemma creates another bond between them.

When Juila’s mind link with her sister disappears, Amanda faces the real possibility that Jena has died. Will Rasa be able to communicate with their contact on Earth to discover the truth? Without having any real answers and being driven by fear, Amanda decides to risk everything to visit with Shemalla, the last person known to have seen Jena. There is only problem: Shemalla is on Earth.

The Mystery Continues

In a bizarre twist of fate, Amanda has maintained one foot in each world. On Earth, Amanda’s hypnotist, Dr. Jasmine Medin, warns of Dr. Gascon’s desire to increase Amanda’s medications to force her to talk. Amanda’s sessions are extended causing her story to move faster. Will the hypnotist be able to unlock the mysteries of Amanda’s mind before time runs out?

Amanda learns she can be independent and feel fulfilled while she counts her blessings and still hopes for more. Amanda firmly focuses on reuniting her family. She devotes all of her energy and time into learning how to use the birth crystal gifted by Jehoban. As danger emerges, Amanda’s life begins moving faster than it has in the previous two years. Amanda’s destiny begins moving forward even as Petre’s remains stuck in past grudges.

Amanda faces the darkest hour before she finds her ultimate dreams come true. Her bold decisions could bring her the greatest treasures or the hardest heartache. How can she possibly choose when faced with the agonizing decision to stay in the alternate dimension known as Tuala and risk losing Juila to Petre’s diabolical world, or going home to Earth and never finding her other daughter, Jena? Amanda faces a mother’s worst nightmare: choosing which daughter to save.
