On the eve of her thirteenth birthday, Kyra Murch receives a strange stone bracelet from her mother, Aerrika. It's supposed to protect her - but from what? In the laundry room of her run-down apartment building, Kyra soon finds out. A mysterious walking, talking rat-man - a Raturro - tries to kidnap her. She stands up to the strange creature, Shale from Deep Nestling. Shale warns her she's in grave danger. She is rescued by the Chimera, a mythical creature made of light that travels through stone and is a portal to another world. Kyra keeps the terrifying encounter a secret, leaving her mother alone and helpless when the Raturro return to capture her. As Kyra surveys the devastation in her apartment, she faces another shock - the unexpected presence of her father Jaag, who has been absent from her life for years. Jaag uses the Chimera portal to bring Kyra to the land of Antiica, where a war is being waged against the vicious rebel rats and their leader, Majellan. And it's up to Kyra, the now-returned heir, to fulfil the prophecy and save the people and the Raturro from slavery and war. For a sheltered, solitary girl from Earth, this is a lot to ask. But she won't be alone. She befriends Coyne, a human teenager who has deserted from Jaag's army, and rescues Mercy, an enslaved teenaged Raturro who was once her childhood friend. Together they undertake the dangerous journey to rescue Aerrika from the rebel's stronghold--Thane's Reach. Will Kyra learn how to call the mysterious Chimera to her bidding?
