Amberlin is direct, outspoken, and adventuresome. These are traits that Golden Acres of Christ — the radically conservative community in which she lives — would rather suppress. There are rules to follow, and if you step out of line, Reverend Stover will make sure you suffer the consequences.
So Amberlin is careful to keep her gift hidden. She can sense the emotions of others with a single touch, and bend the elements to her will. Her grandfather believes Amberlin is destined to save their world from darkness, and is determined to help fulfill her divine purpose.
Yet even with his support, doing so seems impossible. But then a strange woman begins to haunt her dreams, and Amberlin can no longer ignore her calling.
