Working in a dead-end, post office job in the heart of a primarily-Human city, Arya Salcrest cannot let her secret out else she loses her rights and her safety. Norren Sterling, a member of the Council whom she met after a failed museum trip, is determined to change that.
When the dreams of the distant past start plaguing her, Arya has to figure out their connection to her waking hours, especially when they seem to revolve around her, Norren, and the scheme he is building from the shadows. And she may not have enough time before society's fear and prejudice crushes her.
From the author of the award-winning novella, Kolibrie, and the high fantasy series, The Chronicles of Fantasilia, comes a tale about the clash of love and hate, and of the past and present. What do you do when the destiny set for you isn't in your favor? You fight.
