In a world called Synn, magic is kept under tight control and a disease, known only as the Curse, threatens the lives of the people. Azaria, a seventeen year old healer, has spent her life working at an apothecary in the city of Tenera, quietly toiling away in hopes of someday being able to help her sick brother. An opportunity is granted to her when she is discovered to possess magic. She is forced to flee from her home, and the elven King who wants to use and contain her abilities for his own sinister reasons, but not before she hears rumors of a cure in a distant land. Since she cannot return home, her only option is to go forward, and find this cure. Finding the cure proves much harder than she ever imagined as she is sought after not only by the King, but by an embittered dark elf empress who is using questionable means to achieve order in the chaotic world. Caught in midst of a play of power, danger, and revenge between nobility, Azaria must gain the courage to find her own purpose and create her own destiny. She must learn to harness a great power of her own and make a choice that could change the world.

Deviant. Rebellious. Abnormal. The Elders say Gemm 16884 is all these things, and that he is a threat to the utopian society in which he lives. The Elders give him one chance to save himself: He must undergo the mysterious and painful “cure,” or he and his twin sister, Gemma, will be automatically recycled. Gemm chooses “the cure” and finds himself in the year 1348, at the onset of the Black Death. He is now Johannes, sixteen, living in Strasbourg--a town beset by anti-Semitism. Johannes struggles to hold on to his faith and family, his love for Margarite, his passion for music, and his belief in the goodness of human beings. But can the will of one boy change the world? Award-winning author Sonia Levitin weaves a chilling tale of a futuristic society colliding with the past--and delivers an unforgettable message about the recurring nature of history.
