Publisher's Synopsis
It isn't easy to kill real monsters when you haven't faced the ones of your past.
Frances lived a tormented life because of her abusive parents. However, in the two years since she was transported to Durannon, Frances gained a loving mentor, new magical skills, and a fresh start in a new world. But the war against the Demon King still rages and the only hope for victory may lie with people she has been desperately trying to avoid: her classmates and bullies from the world she has left behind. Haunted by the wounds that her family left on her, Frances knows she has to work with people who often echo the shadows of her old life. Yet, confronting doubts about her own abilities brings about Frances's first friends. These new faces might not just be the key to save Frances's home. They might be just what Frances needs to save her from herself.
