Eighteen-year-old Kaltia was not born in the kingdom of the Silver which may explain the animosity she feels toward the place. Instead, she longs to be in the Black where people are free to explore and risk messing up. For in the Black, good cannot be acquired. Failure is expected, and our young foreigner intends to make the most of this.
But she has another reason for journeying away from the Silver. And little does she know, she has unwanted company in her midst.
