Named after the mother of Perseus, the similarities end there. Her cousins fear her, afraid of her anger from years past that could harm or kill them. Her hair and eyes are an unnatural earthy yellow. Calling her irises dark citrine is generous and doesn’t make it easier for people to look into them.
Her rather extended family are all practitioners of magic. Many miles of the forested lands of northern Wisconsin are their abode. With the family’s use of magic, they don’t fit well in the mundane world of the late 1970s. Denae hasn’t even bothered with town for years, except as necessity dictates. The forest is her home.
When she survives a bear attack at age 16, the nightmares start. After Denae saves the life of a mundane girl she barely knows from town, she may finally have a friend in town. And when she notices something strange about her little brother’s new girlfriend, her entire family could be in jeopardy.

Plus, she becomes embroiled in a battle between guardian animals in the forests, not to mention an unplanned meeting with the spirit woman who rules over those forest guardians.
Denae finds similar guardians in her family’s forests, which she’d never noticed before, and these now submit to her. With her new forest powers, she hears the quietness that cries out for new guardian animals. how can she fill the emptiness…create new guardians to fill the voids? And with those who hunt guardian animals and those who rule over them, how can she continue to live while she creates the new guardians?

When people with strange weapons attack Kevin and Ellie while on their way home to their 'Uncle' John's estate, and then again at the estate, John sends them to another world that looks a lot like the Texas Hill Country where they left from, minus the buildings and people, and Lake Travis.
The parting instructions are, "Go west to Baemardis."
They do find people and buildings, but it's like Columbus had never discovered the New World. The Vikings, maybe, but then again, maybe not. But, there is a kingdom of sorts here, and they find that they are in charge.
