Fifteen year-old Sage Bently has it all: a wonderful dad, an awesome best friend, a happy and comfortable life. For the most part it's easy to ignore the war raging around her protective bubble--until she receives one fateful school assignment. Now things are falling into place much quicker than Sage is comfortable with. Before she knows it, Sage is thrown into the middle of a political revolution, right under the "soul searching" eyes of the terrible Beck Watson. Can Sage manage to make an ally in her most desperate time of need, or will the past be too much for either of them to bear? Will the Gifted One's daughter be able to save the world she never even knew?
