Torn from Earth and thrown into a parallel fantasy world, Kathryn struggles to maintain her sanity and remain alive long enough to return home. After a run-in with the local wildlife, she finds herself under the dubious protection of the Knighthood-winged humans with an innate sense of honor, but open hostility toward Earthlings. An unwelcome passenger in her mind drives her to join their ranks. She discovers their angry commander is far from welcoming. Sir Lanclor, Commander of the Knighthood, lives with the curse of betrayal. While the treachery occurred lifetimes before, few see past his guarded shell to the grim man beneath. Barely holding the Knighthood together, his grip tightens with Kathryn's arrival. Her stubbornness and surprising strength energizes the Knighthood and makes Sir Lanclor question his self-imposed isolation. With the approach of an invading army, Kathryn and Sir Lanclor must find a way to end centuries of war and save two worlds.
