Whiteloc

Fen Rolec is a female Ust, a recent Kelumar majikian graduate, on a planet called Absynterra who had learned to play music through colored stones she found as a young girl and calls it cisum. She is tasked by the Kelusora at graduation to find the Kelujun medallion that can reactivate the Kel, an interplanetary transport system that "broke" when the medallion was lost. First she has to learn about the medallion, her planet's history, and somehow locate the Kelujun in the universe.

Her curiosity leads her to become Whiteloc, The Kel's safeguard. She learns that the medallion was lost to prevent the Deadheart from coming to Absynterra. But he's coming anyway.

Through parallel tasks of her friends and what she learns of her heart and how fragile it really is, she finds the way through her cisum.

"The writing is beautiful, and it brings music along as if you can hear the sound of the cisum."
