In a world that runs on magic, Kalahn is born without. She has eyes as gray as pewter, unable to access any arcanum. Facing an edict that seeks to rehome her and others like her, Kalahn runs to escape her fate. But little does she know the journey that she has embarked on or the spark that she will ignite.

Meanwhile, Trenton has always tried to follow in his father's footsteps, earning the title Captain of the Skylarks. Charged with leading the rehoming efforts, he is devoted to his cause, until one fateful day he meets someone who makes him question everything. Will he end up following the orders he has been given or fighting against his own men?

This is a fast-paced sword and sorcerer fantasy, featuring dual points of view, a heroine's journey and trying to find a place in a changing world.
