Synopsis/Details: 

The last of the Verenir make their final stand against The Sickness - a living plague that spreads blight wherever it goes. They lose. Realising their peril, the warrior Kelvaran tasks his sister, Cleo, with protecting their most sacred artifact; an orb of immense power said to hold the ashes of their god. Kelvaran opens up a portal and Cleo reluctantly enters - finding herself in the strange world of the British West Midlands.

Before she's even had chance to properly adjust to her new surroundings, she foils an armed robbery and makes the acquaintance of Karla Murray, a young woman trying to build a life for herself away from her criminal family. Soon Cleo finds herself protecting Karla from the local thugs, while being forced to fend off the monstrous Faelhar who seeks Earth as a prize for his Master.
