The place has everything that any kid could ever want. And yet Lorie wants none of it. When her big sixteenth birthday nears her world seems to flip.

With the prophecy hanging over Asher and Judah's heads, they are forced to go to The Capitol. They just have to sort some things out. 1. They need to work together and help the girls figure out what the next step is. 2. They need to figure out a way to put their differences aside and work as the team the girls think they can be. 3. They must learn what their abilities are. On top of everything, they need to do that before their home is destroyed. Will they ever be able to do that as long as the lines in the prophecy remain a mystery?
