There are those who will do anything to capture the talisman...

Aishling's mother vanished on Halloween, 1989. It's been sixteen months and she can't convince those at the children's home her mother is alive. She's running out of time. Soon they'll place her somewhere else. Ma would never find her.

Her special "gift" of prophetic dreaming also vanished that fated Halloween, until last night's dream. Now, an enormous horned-serpent dangles in her sleepy memory. When she recognizes and befriends Morrigan, Kelile, and Lance - the newest arrivals - she wonders if she has dreamed of them before and if her "gift" is returning.

On a quest to find Ma, Aishling escapes from the children's home with her new, diverse friends. During their perilous trek through the mountainous backwoods of North Carolina more of her dormant abilities awaken. But, she needs more than magic to survive in the wilderness. She needs her friends.

In order for Aishling to find out what happened to her mother and why an ancient Cherokee myth plagues her dreams she must face her greatest fear, uncover a heart-rending truth, and make a dreadful choice.
