Paul Stevens is ready to end his life, when an alien girl drops into his world through a portal, a hole in space. Trina, from the distant planet Freyda, wields twin swords of unearthly power and has healing gifts.
But an army from her world has followed Trina to Earth. Nine feet tall, riding dragon eagles, they search for the Angrelline, a legendary warrior who can use her swords to open the space portals. Their warmongering general wants to harness her powers to dominate his planet - or kill her if she resists. Paul decides to put his suicide on hold to help Trina escape.
But time is running out. Earth marshals its forces to combat the aliens, and day after day, living on Earth drains the Freydan's strength. They need to get back home, but the portal is broken, and only Trina can save them.
This is a story of a race to restore the balance of power between two planets, and of a grieving man searching for a reason to live.
