On a hike with friends, Danny hears a noise. Veering off the trail, she walks deeper into the woods to investigate. A chill passes over her and suddenly Danny finds herself in an alternate world. They seem to be expecting her.
A man named Simeon leads her to Seer Martin, who Simeon claims, "will explain everything."
For some reason fate has decided she, Danny the veterinarian, should lead the kingdom of Deerfield against the kingdom of Shipford. Why was she chosen and what part can she play in the politics of two nations she knows nothing about?
With humor and her love of animals, Danny navigates through the numerous adventures she and her new friends encounter.
