Badly hurt in an airplane accident, Rebecca found herself alone and hiding from terrorists who had taken over the country and were killing all who stood in their way. But in the depths of her despair, she discovered that she wasn't alone and that she possessed powers that would allow her to bring peace back into a world that had descended into a nightmare. Can Rebecca use these other-worldly powers to fulfill her destiny and save herself, her loved ones, and her nation?
