In the first chapter of "AMNIA CYCLE," Tara, a young Jet-Wing pilot, goes AWOL in the war against the Nuriel in order to help Amnia, a mysterious alien with no memory of where she came from and a desperate need to stop a terrible disaster! When Amnia disappears, it sends Tara on an adventure into the Shadow Zone.
  
Step into the unknown. Journey into the shadows. There you'll find PAKLIS.
