Life in the 21st century is difficult due to the war between Jelvia and Humans. And Courtney, once consumed inside an unhappy relationship, could never focus on the world's problems.
But now she's free of her ex, Greg Martin. She can see how deep her best friend, Macy, has buried herself in the Jelvian world, and although worried, Courtney has to put herself first. She moves from London to a sleepy seaside town near Cornwall.
But is it too late?
Courtney has already met Aldarn, a war-weary Jelvia, who came into her life through Macy and made it clear he found her attractive. It wasn't long after meeting him that the first gift arrived.
Then came the flowers, wreaths, strange texts and threatening phone calls.
To complicate matters, Greg, anguished at how he'd treated her, is determined to win her back. Like most people, he's terrified of Jelvias, but he swears to protect the woman he loves.
