Isolation, starvation, and death loom over the tower refuge of Kryie Karth. For Kaphri, the lone child survivor, it's even worse as she confronts the others' hatred and resentment every day. Then, two days before her eighteenth birthday, the current leader inexplicably dies, and suspicious eyes turn to her. Secrets erupt in long pent-up fury and fear, and Kaphri discovers that everything she has been taught about her Birthstar is a lie.
