Publisher's Synopsis
In the Dominion of Aleznuaweite, anyone can rise to the greatest heights-if they are willing to pay the price.
Failure is a luxury Rahelu can't afford. Her family sold everything, left their ancestral home, and became destitute foreigners for the sake of her resonance skills. Now she can manipulate emotional echoes to discern truth from lies, conjure the past, and even foretell the future.
But an act of petty revenge by her rival destroys her chance at joining one of the great Houses. Desperate to prove her family's sacrifices were not in vain, Rahelu calls upon the most dangerous magic of all-altering fortune.
A slight twist of fate is enough to restore her way forward...with deadly consequences she never bargained for. The Houses make a pawn of her in their bitter struggle for control of the Dominion. A shadowy cult grows ever closer to completing an ancient ritual.
And Rahelu discovers that fulfilling her oath to her family might come at the cost of her mother's life.
