### From the Back Cover

The discovery starts with Lara Eliza Liam, a fifteen year old student who accidentally falls into the enchanted realm of EMMITAENU while her parents are away on their anniversary.

The adventure begins when she stumbles across Jade, the chipper if not insane gypsy who quickly becomes Lara's trail guide and fast friend.  Lara realizes she must never disregard what Jade says no matter how illogical it may seem, especially regarding the powers of Zeftx, the adopted demon in the gypsy's home.  For seven years he lived a secret life safe from the wrath of the witches until the day Lara appeared asking for his help.  Attached to Lara from the start, he is willing to sacrifice anything to help achieve her goal, even if it goes against his very nature.

In their joint efforts to return Lara to her own world, their sudden expedition becomes a fast-paced rescue race to protect her against gargoyles and Lienkin, a mysterious stranger who turns out to be the heir of the witches.  Throughout this journey Lara has to find a balance between enemies, fulfill a secret prophecy, and realize her own potential before time runs out.  In order to survive she must rely on the aid of unexpected allies, even when it means believing in the unbelievable.
