Description:This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B006Q2KSTO.In a world where magic touches nearly every aspect of daily life, even those possessed of such gifts are not always favored by fortune.Jokara is a prosperous, respected nation, about to be torn apart, West from East, family from family, sister from sister, by the East’s continued use of slaves, the Commons unwillingly brought to their shores so long ago. Commons, Cerise Randall among them, do not believe as native Jokarans do, in the Goddess that gave the nation the LifeStone, a magical receptacle that allows memories and the life experience of those who Touch it to become one with it. The Elect, ruler of Jokara, bonds with the LifeStone upon ascension to that office, and uses the LifeStone’s knowledge of his people to govern. But no Common has ever been allowed to Touch the LifeStone, even those who live in the West, where slavery is outlawed.Cerise Randall, nearly fifteen years old, and the adopted daughter of a native Jokaran, is about to become the first, and her talent with Light will change her world in ways she and no one else can begin to imagine, even as a war brews that will also change the face of the earth. There is only one person in Cerise’s adopted family who has ever truly cared for her, her older sister, Twil Randall, but the love of one sister can’t begin to overpower the hatred of another, that of Twil’s twin, Sharna, who despises Commons as much as any of those in the East, who hates Cerise with unreasoning enmity, who will turn from her family as so many others will as Jokara finds itself sliding toward war. Cerise and other Commons like her will find themselves caught up in that war, but her gift with light will bring her unexpected responsibilities, will offer her a connection to the LifeStone she couldn’t have imagined was possible.Sisters, and all three going in very different directions, toward a future none could foresee.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
