Breanne Moore – the beautiful girl from his dreams who traveled thousands of miles to help him – was snatched away. Now he will stop at nothing to get her back, even if it means ignoring an ancient prophecy and the destiny laid out for him since his birth. To find Breanne, Garrett and his friends must leave the safety of their small Midwestern town and travel across a country in turmoil, contending with dragons, giants, and shapeshifting trees. But their true foe may be someone from Garrett’s past – someone growing in power and hungry for revenge.

In Mexico, Breanne and young Gabi have escaped the clutches of Apep and the King of the Giants, finding safety in a hidden cenote.

No matter what, Breanne must keep Gabi safe, protecting her not only from the new dangers that seem to lurk around every corner, but also from herself.
