After escaping the ruins of her city, Nen finds shelter with Eru’s aunt. But peace remains out of reach. Haunted by loss, separated from her closest friend, and burdened by a power she was only beginning to control, Nen faces an impossible choice: hide her gift as Eru warns… or use it to help the village that took her in. But time is running out and Nen is about to discover that some choices aren’t really choices at all.

From the author: "As with the rest of The Gray Planet series, I wrote the story in gender-inclusive language and with the Novice learner in mind. The illustrations are stunning and intentionally crafted to deliver compelling scenes and introduce new, meaningful characters and relationships. But most of all? I love the human beings represented in this book.
