Nobody really realised how important the electricity was until it was gone. That is a fact Spark Thames and her sister, Shine, know only too well. They spend their every day turning the Grindstone – a huge generator that is the humans' only means of power. Dedicated to protecting her sister, Spark is unambitious – not someone who would be regarded as ‘special’. But someone, somewhere, sees something in Spark. And then her life is thrown into another direction – a path that might show the way forward for all of them. Only Spark is the one who can make this happen – but as things progress and the strange regime is uncovered, she may find that the price is too high even for her to pay.
