Trina Warren didn't think she was going to be a hero. She thought she was going to go to fourth period, hopefully avoiding any more hassle from the jocks about dropping plates at her waitressing job the night before. Then there was a bang, and an overturned chair, and everything was different.

Now Trina finds herself in a fantasy world, pursued by a faceless, nameless monster that only she can stop. But she doesn't know how to stop it, she doesn't have any weapons, and her only clue is the necklace that arrived in a mysterious package that morning, with no return address and a cryptic note inside. She must navigate an unfamiliar world full of monsters, magic, and danger if she is to defeat the mysterious Soulless One and save her friends. And herself.

"On Tuesday, April 30th, 2019, I was on the campus of the university where I teach--UNC Charlotte--for an end of year celebration honoring graduating seniors, when a gunman opened fire in a neighboring building. I took cover with a group of students in a theatre dressing room and we locked ourselves in. We sat in silence for something over an hour, watching on muted phones--we couldn't make any noise for fear of attracting the shooter--for local news reports which might help us make sense of what was happening outside. By the time we got the all-clear from the police, two students had been killed and several others seriously wounded. The scars borne by the survivors are less easy to quantify." - From the Author's Note to Impervious.
