"Time Stopper Annie's newfound home, the enchanted town Aurora, is in danger. The vicious Raiff will stop at nothing to steal the town's magic, and Annie is the only one who can defeat him . . . even though it's prophesied that she'll "fall with evil." Alongside her loyal band of friends Eva, Bloom, SalGoud, and Jamie, who still isn't quite sure whether he's a troll or not, Annie journeys deep into the Raiff's realm--the Badlands. The group will face everything from ruthless monsters to their own deepest fears. Can Annie find the courage to confront the Raiff and save everyone, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice?" --,Amazon.com.

Jamie tried to lift Annie's spirits and his own. "We can do this, you know." She sucked her lips in toward her mouth. They were cracking from the dryness. "I know. We have to. There's no choice. Let's go find that door, okay, Jamie? You and me? No matter what." He knew she meant, no matter if you turn troll. Bumping her with his hip, he made his voice braver for her. "Always."
