Abbot, her phlegmatic mentor, reveals the Unspoken’s secret ability to cast spells with the ink in their tattoos. Keres feels as if she’s leading separate lives. One life beneath the surface of Chelon with her fellow Unspoken and another above ground with her friends under the vigilant eyes of The Mothers, a tribe of sadistic women who control the city.

Torn between the need to save her friends from The Mothers and her strange new life with the Unspoken, Keres struggles between her destiny and her desire.
