The country of Midoka embraces magic, also known as the gift. Its most powerful order of sorcerers, the Mist Women, teach novices at the coven in Maishi Hou, and their graduates serve as expert advisors all over the world. Magic is every Midokan’s undeniable birthright. Except for Yua. An unwilling resident at the Maishi Hou coven, she can’t call forth the smallest flame. Her only childhood memory is soaked in blood. The only hint as to who—or what—she is lies in her blackened veins. But they also hide a shadow thirsting for blood, and even the leading Mist Woman fears it.

Seventeen-year-old Tess has been dragged from one town to another ever since her mother died in a plane crash eight years ago. She is convinced special powers contained within the ring her mother passed on to her as the burning plane went down kept her alive while others died. Fiercely independent, Tess is determined to carve out a better life for herself. Desperate to earn a scholarship for college, she finds herself strangely drawn to a local football hero who is her complete opposite.
