Seventeen-year-old Hephzibah Beatrice Greer is tired of being treated like a maid. She longs for self-worth. Is that too much to ask? Her cruel stepmother makes her cook, clean, sleep on the couch, and hand over all the money she earns from her part-time job.
Freedom. That’s what she wants. Not an unknown ball of light that rudely merges with her mind and forces her down a portal to planet Nephaura. She finds the ball of light’s personality extremely annoying and wants to get rid of its irritating presence.
Hephzibah wishes to escape from her predicament, but she gets entangled in a search for the missing king, Hugh. Although magnetic and powerful, he is not what he once was and Hephzibah must help him regain his normal self. Which means vanquishing the doubts that plague her, outwitting the Imp, and overcoming a series of life-threatening tests so Hugh can take back his throne from his greedy, slimy uncle, who seized his crown and imprisoned him.
Before Hephzibah’s journey, her stepmother ruled her life. But not anymore. Hephzibah can make her own decisions.
