Young Brierley was a healer, until she was betrayed by one she trusted, and her secret heritage as a Sh'ari healer was exposed. On the run from those who would destroy her as they did the rest of her race, Brierley discovered the shocking truth about what really happened to her people... and fell in love. Now Brierley hides in the mountains, working her way through a tangled nest of secrets and lies in an attempt to bring her people, and their power for good, back into the world.

While she does this, her true love has a daunting task: it is up to him to convince his countrymen to find their way past centuries of hate and distrust. For if he cannot do so, not only will Brierley and her dreams for the future be lost to him forever, but his own people may well face the same sort of destruction they wreaked upon the Sh'ari...
