In a futuristic world of globally advanced technology, Kassie finds it hard to appreciate life when it's only her and her brother-like friend. The two orphans finally settle into a family and accept their new life when disaster strikes. In the government's attempt to upgrade the world's technology, starting with South Africa, it ends up in flames. Kassie and Will are left to fend for themselves in the ruin while long forgotten legends rise to the surface after the discovery of a new force we call magic. The old myth of the Fairyblood people is no myth at all and neither is the curse that comes with it. Legend says that a child born of Kaira will choose the fate of her people in facing a decision between justice and mercy.
