Kami Murdoch Jensen has two main passions—literature and science. Even as a teenager, she managed to perform DNA copying for a school project, and today her knowledge and research in genetics form the foundation for the plots and ideas in her books.
Because of serious burns, Agnes lives in isolation and studies at home, far from her peers and the familiar world. But she has a rare gift: she can sense lies without fail and understand any language.
One day, while translating an ancient tablet, Agnes becomes the target of demons. During the attack, she accidentally passes through a portal and lands in an unfamiliar reality. There, a mysterious old man meets her, claiming that Agnes is a witch destined to save his planet. Yet her ability tells her: he is lying…
Now Agnes must decide what matters more—using her powers to help a foreign world or, at any cost, searching for a way home while escaping the demons pursuing her. What secrets does the new planet conceal—and how will meeting them change Agnes’s fate?
