When Mara Holdfast’s Masking ceremony goes horribly wrong she is torn away from her parents, imprisoned, and doomed to slave in the mines until she dies, Mara has been branded a traitor and not even her magical Gift can show her the future that awaits—a future that may see her freed to aid a rebel cause, or one that sees her transformed into a being of limitless and dangerous power....
