In 2058, a sorceress cast a spell that went horribly awry and the magnetic poles reversed in one devastating flip, destroying civilization. The new alignment influenced human genes, and over thousands of years the survivors of the human race began to evolve into elves, dwarves and other beings, exhibiting psychic and magical Gifts.
Jeroen Alhalla, heir to her family’s fortune, is expected to be normal or suffer exile. And she is—except for the small matter of relentless visions, berserker tendencies and pointed ears. She carefully keeps her odder qualities hidden, until her well-ordered world is shattered when a handsome Gifted fugitive, Quoi Sarman, comes to her for refuge. Even worse, an army sweeps through town and kidnaps all the Gifted, threatening not only to expose her, but destroy the lives of thousands of people. Can Jeroen find the strength to risk everything she holds dear to save them and claim Quoi for her own?
