All her life, Kira has trained to run. Her plan is simple: run her way to a college scholarship and get out of sleepy, small town Inola Woods. But the spirits have other plans for her. One day, Kira stumbles upon a mystical force, one she's only heard of in Native American folklore. The next day, she is taken captive- and her newfound power quickly becomes a curse. Without warning, Kira is thrust into the world of spirits, of Terra warriors who wield light and restless ghosts who threaten to upset the delicate balance between realms. She must rely on her teacher Ren to help her master her Terra power before it consumes her. Yet Ren, though cool and reserved, is on the brink of something deadly, and soon Kira becomes aware of how the others see him, as if awaiting his descent into madness. Can she trust him? Moreover, does she have a choice? Reality shifts and Kira's plans and boundaries begin to crumble away. Trying to stay in control in the midst of the chaos, Kira questions her choices, her freedoms, the decisions that make up who she will become. As the truth about the spirit world becomes hazy, as the lines between enemy and friend converge, as the true purpose behind their power grows ominous, Kira realizes that she must change. All her life she has trained to run. But she can't run from this.

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.
