Forced to flee and abandon everything she has ever known with her maid, Miranda, Zera must travel into the Black Mountains, where evil dwells as thickly as oxygen does in the air.
Enter Quartz, a strange human boy who appears to be more powerful than even Zera.

Soon, she will be forced to answer the one question that will tip the fates of her world - what will she give up, in order to have her deepest desires come true?
