"When five people are lifted from their various times and realities and set down in a place no one recognizes, they are disoriented and confused. They join forces to solve the problems of identifying where and when they are, and how to get home. However, as the story unfolds, we realize that maybe "home" isn't the best place for everyone. How now to resolve their situation? If you want adventure, romance, confusion, emotional turmoil, and a book you won't be able to close until the end, this is the one for you.

"They slipped and fell--into a strange new world. Daffyd and Seren are determined to aid and protect the child they find there even though it binds them in a tangled web of misunderstanding and lack of communication as they battle their attraction to each other. Their situation becomes more unbelievable and strange as they discover they are all from different worlds and times. What or who has brought them all here, and why? Can the advanced technology of Rapsim and Resnik, who have now joined them, help get them home? And, will Seren's love and their combined strengths
and technology be enough to save Daffyd from the consequences of his last night at home?
