Non-magicals, or Inops, in complete ignorance of their powerful counterparts. Destan doesn't fit in with either society. Though his younger sister Julia lives with the Inops and does not have any powers, Destan can bend the atoms of any object to his will. His tribe, however, has made him an outcast for a horrible mistake he made when he was just a little boy. Lonely and desperate, Destan makes another mistake a decade later. By showing himself to Julia and her adoptive family of Inops, he makes himself a target - and by doing so, he makes his tribe a target. The costs pile up higher and higher as the quarrel between the two sides turns into a full-blown war. Can Destan make up for what he's done, before both factions turn on him?
