Rayne Higgins must save the world without losing her mind. After an accident left her with nightmares, memory loss, and an inescapable fear of mirrors, Rayne is ready for a fresh start. A college study abroad program in Venice, Italy is the perfect solution. Then a confrontation with a pickpocket turns into a deadly fight with a monster only she can see. The pickpocket, Loic, is a knight from a mirror world, fighting a madman who seeks to merge the worlds together and destroy them both.

I am a shadow. I live in the dark recesses of the darkest places in the tunnels of Grand Central Station, but I do not stay put there; I am free to pass into the light.

I like to think of myself as an angel; a shadow angel.
