The Others are an independent group of Metavica, or Children of Magic, that use fear as tool to get what they desire. Most of the time, these tactics are used on the ones with both money and power. So why has Stell Bronntana, a young woman who possesses neither, been pulled into the conflict? Now, Stell strives to find out the answer to a simple question, Why did one of The Others try to murder her father? The truth, as she may soon find out, is something far more chilling than rumor.
