Luma was born with powers that she cannot control along with nightmares of an ancient past that she cannot remember. Desperate for answers, she teams up with her best friend, an exiled history professor, and a rogue smuggler/thief with a murky past of his own to uncover the truth behind an ancient artifact said to hold unimaginable power and may hold the key to her unknown past.
But when they cross paths with a kidnapped princess and a deadly assassin with powers eerily connected to Luma, the quest becomes more dangerous than any of them imagined. Secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, a stirring revolution, and Luma must face her destiny that could change the fate of their world.
