"…never trust a Pebble Pincher."
The Slates crossed the sea to fight the tyrannical Blood of the Ràej, eliminating the higher magic they had used to rule Omneth. The people of the land were liberated and given magic-holding Pebbles, in hopes of spreading equality. New buildings were erected to house the Officials who would lead and protect the people of Omneth. The academies would train new Officials, teach them to become Pebble Pinchers.
Terhese's dream of becoming an Official is within her grasp. Weeks before she is to leave for the Sandstone Academy, her powers show their true colors. Instead of accepting this new identity, she continues on her path and starts classes at the academy. She is warned to keep her magic hidden, but temptations pull from all sides as she spends time with new friends on the beach in the sun and around the bonfires at night, passing the bottles of green and amber liquor. Shadows of extinct creatures and unraveling falsehoods surround her.
How long will Terhese be able to keep her forbidden Ràej powers a secret from everyone she knows, including the man who seems too good to be true?
