Thera is a Warrior with telekinetic and telepathic powers and the top fighter in her compound. By enforcing the rules set by the Council, Warriors, like Thera, protect the peace between the Human Realm and the Realms of the Timeless, immortals with near-infinite powers, Angels, Demons, Gods, and Fae. During a battle in the Outer Realm, she is kidnapped by the God of Mischief and held as a prisoner of war at his palace. Though he doesn't reveal his motives, given the amount of time she spends in his bedchamber, it is clear this isn't strictly for political strategy. During her months in captivity, the two engage in a battle of wills and strategy to outwit the other, but suddenly, without explanation, he releases Thera. Back at the compound and surrounded by her closest friends, she still struggles to find a sense of normalcy. Even when she is cleared to return to training and missions, nothing can rid her mind of the ghost of him; even in sleep, his touch haunts her skin.
