Book Description:

Lauren Dane discovers a doorway to another reality in Cat Creek, North Carolina -- and she crosses over, driven by a strange compulsion she can neither resist nor comprehend. Molly McColl is brought there against her will -- kidnapped from her trailer and carried into a realm that traps her, terrifies her...yet offers her a strange and wondrous escape.

In an extraordinary universe of magic and monsters, two strangers sharing only pain and loss must now pursue the destiny that has united them. Because worlds are suddenly threatened by an evil beyond imagining -- the world they have entered...and the one the have left behind.

Lauren Dane, a gateweaver, travels back and forth between Earth and Oria. Her parents erased her mind when she was a child and she is re-learning how to travel back and forth...and why she should or shouldn't.

Molly McColl, a healer of epic proportions, is a hybrid alien/human who is kidnapped by Orians and foribly returned to Oria as their savior.

On Oria, humans have spectacular magical abilities, however, magic used on the alien planet adversely affects Earth. The sentinels are tasked with protecting humans from the feedback of this magical usage. Eric is the leader of the Sentinels and he works with Lauren, as well as the other Sentinels to figure out how a plague on Earth was started and how to contain it.

This is an extremely complex world with numerous dangers and challenges facing all the characers...both the good and the evil ones. I enjoyed the layering of the foundation and the dissection of the characters. I especially enjoyed Lauren and Molly's adventures.

A fast paced fantasy book about two complete strangers thrust into a new and scary world, and eventually find companionship in their pain.

A good book for anyone new to fantasy or a long time fantasy reader.
