In an isolated mountain town, Meg and her brother Thompson live a monotonous life.
When a traveler passes through, an innocent mistake unlocks Meg’s entire existence, the simple life she thought she knew, and her newly found love, unravels before her eyes.

Ghostly Ogres that creep along the edges of our world hold Merragrin in their battle to assimilate and conquer, which has been raging on longer than anyone has ever known. She must destroy the Ogres, all while, her heart struggles and longs for the boy she loves, and the desperate hope she will live to see him again. But she is more part of the story than she ever knew possible. Long ago they had planned it, long ago she had been told — something was coming for her.

Through her childhood into her delectably perfect world, she grows into an adult. Her existence woven with unexpected magic, fairytales and the internal struggle to discover that she may be an unrealized power, even to herself. Now she stands before the biggest challenge — the will to survive.

Will Merragrin find strength, and the secret, in time to free herself from the force of the One, and return to her perfect world?Or will the Ogres greed for power, destroy them all?
In the end… she may not have a choice.
