"Tavi Malin is born facing the sun, filled with greater magic than any other sun-blessed child. When Tavi turns fourteen, her magic awakens. Her uncontrollable, destructive power frightens those around her--almost as much as it terrifies Tavi herself. Tavi and her friends train to use their gifts, unaware of the threat developing in a distant city. Dissidents have banded together, and they're killing to attain gray magic, an ominous new force that breaks the rules of ordinary magic. But to seize true power, the Grays must grow their ranks--and Tavi is a prize worth pursuing. In a fight where confidence is as crucial as strength, even extraordinary gifts aren't sufficient. If Tavi is to prevail against the Grays, she must find a courage that goes deeper than magic itself."--back cover.
