Description
What if you lost your memory and found yourself transported to a parallel world containing no electricity, no running water, and unkind villagers who keep dark secrets?
Those questions become all too real for sixteen-year-old Laura who awakens in an unfamiliar house before an unknown force whisks her to a seemingly parallel Earth where the residents worship a sinister deity.
Disoriented and confused, Laura does her best to fit in with the villagers of Sparkling Falls while desperately trying to regain her lost memories and find her way back home.
When a little girl goes missing under bizarre circumstances, Laura and her newfound friends set out to find her. But someone doesn’t like Laura digging into the village’s mysterious past, and they’ll do anything to stop her from discovering the secret behind Sparkling Falls.
