Vortexes in the Bermuda Triangle, dragons, sirens and magical battles are just a taste of what's in store for Rashell, Anna and Emileah. They are three sisters who have grown up as outcasts in the small town of Maurepas, Louisiana where their mother tries to teach them that there are consequences to their choices and now they are about to find themselves in a fight for their lives in the magical world of Aloria. The girls will face off against endless dangers as their mother struggles to deliver them to the safety of the caves of Lamaria where their father and grandfather are trying to gather their forces to take back the royal palace. They will deal with losing friends, betrayal, meeting new friends and dealing with powers and feelings they don't understand. Full of danger and excitement, heartache and even a bit of amusement, while trying to come to terms with who they are and that the Lord gave them their abilities and yet having them doesn't make them good or evil it is what they choose to do with them that defines who they are. Now they have to deal with growing up together, sibling rivalries and learning that at some point they will have to stick together or their bickering could destroy them all.
