Powerful elements of light and darkness reside within us all. Yet few individuals possess the genetic predisposition to manipulate their dormant abilities. After a gruesome accident claims the lives of her parents, seventeen-year-old Rivelina Tamlin discovers that she belongs to this gifted minority when a telekinetic gift reveals itself. But the awakening of any gift, especially one as potent as her own, never comes without a price. Rivelina soon finds herself thrust into a world riddled with deception where almost everyone has a secret to hide. And if she wants to stay alive long enough to graduate from high school, she must learn to master her ability in order to conceal it and protect herself. However, this task proves to be easier said than done considering it requires resolute focus, something she has trouble with whenever new student, Lane Argall, is around. Despite her initial misgivings about him, Rivelina soon discovers there is more to Lane than meets the eye. In him she finds acceptance and a kinship that could very well heal her broken heart. But in the wake of devastating betrayal she must decide if the tumultuous path that leads to true love is worth the risk. Especially when one wrong move could claim the lives of those she holds most dear as well as her own.
