Catori's mismatched eyes and her ability to see things nobody else does make her an oddball at school. When she finds herself transported to a strange parallel world on her way to school one morning, the only thing she wants to do is get back home to her blue blanket. The bus she boarded doesn't do return trips and she has to figure out her own way back. She discovers that the Dark Forces over-running this parallel world are tracking her down and have no intention of letting her go home alive.
Trusting strangers doesn't come easy to her, but her only hope is to follow Miren, a girl she encounters in the restrooms, to the woods to hide from her hunters. There she meets up with Otsoa, the only boy who has ever made her feel like she was worthy of love. The Dark Forces have zeroed in on them and Catori must fight for her life. What chance does a fourteen-year-old girl have to confront the powerful forces of evil? Does she bow to their evil scheme of taking over the planet or does she fight them to her last breath?
