What would happen if your made-up bedtime story about the baby in your care was actually the truth?  
 
What would you do if you were suddenly thrown into a world where trees melted into gateways and a merciless assassin was after you and the baby?  
 
How would you cope if your everyday life was replaced by a reality filled with a different set of rules? 
 
And would you trust the young man who emerged from a tree carrying a 1000-year-old Samurai sword and calling himself a Walker-Between-Worlds?
 
These are the challenges that eighteen-year-old Kate Johnson must face in this fast-paced YA fantasy adventure and love story as she and Ash strive to protect an infant prince who is destined to be the savior of his world. C.B. Williams lives on five acres in the Northern California redwoods with her husband, son, two dogs, five cats and the wild things that share their space with her. When she's not writing or being a manuscript midwife, you can find her either painting, playing or adventuring. C.B. has a black belt in Kashima Shin Ryu, where she learned that a black belt is just the very beginning.
