Teen shaman Sanyel and her friend Izzy have agreed to help rescue a former enemy's son from the boy's abductor, a prominent, powerful leader. Their mission takes a strange turn when various people—both known and unknown to the rescuers—inexplicably begin to appear and then disappear before their eyes. As these bizarre events grow in number, the adventurers continue their challenging rescue mission, becoming increasingly aware the ongoing, mysterious appearances and vanishings might hold a greater peril than their bold, risky attempt to free the boy.
