WATTYS 2016 WINNER Untouchable. Stone. Jewel - these are some of the names used for people who are born with a gemstone at the centre of their forehead. This unfortunate phenomenon cannot be detected before birth, it cannot be prevented, if a family has a Jewelled child, there is only one outcome: Before they're sixteen, they will have to leave human society forever and serve "the Zephyr". Among the Jewels there are those who have it worse. Those who sport clear diamonds on their foreheads, the Undefined. The downtrodden, the unlucky - the doomed. Cello Riles and Syianne Locke are both Undefined. On their sixteenth birthday, they each leave their homes and travel across the country to the Zephyr, attempting to go into service. Though aside from the place, or thing, that will take them from human society forever - what IS the Zephyr? There are only questions promised, only shadowy riddles guaranteed. Yet faced with no other choice they must venture forth and plunge into the unknown - the Zephyr.

Talin's life had been going, well, not great, as demonstrated by his uncontrolled power, the fact that someone around him nearly died every other day and the black cat that insists on following him everywhere. But it could have been worse. As is made obvious when he is kidnapped by a super-villain, his power goes haywire and he is landed in the future. It really isn't how he wanted to spend his holiday. While he would really like to just curl up in a corner and wait for this nightmare to be over. An overly persistent Backup makes that rather difficult by enlisting him in some kind of Hero boarding school that he has no business being enrolled in. Struggling to keep up the act of actually knowing what has been going on for the past six years would have been tough enough but add in school, a case of mistaken identity and multiple Super-villains trying to take over the city and/or country (two of which actually succeed) and everyone around him trying to turn him into a Superhero, and it makes trying to find a way back home rather difficult. Especially when he's faced with the possibility that there may be no way to return. "𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭?"
