After a civil war, those who remain loyal to the old kingdom hide away in the mountains. It's only the Sustainers, a rogue band of youth, who dare to leave them every year to find vital supplies for their families and sabotage their enemies. Seventeen-year-old Talitha has spent most of her life on the run and in hiding. When the renegades formed, she jumped at the opportunity to wield a sword, desperate to live out anything besides her isolated existence. Like her father, Talitha belongs to the Lantern Code, a sect of people born with the ability to sense and tame life forms. This gift pales in comparison to the abilities of her friends, and most believe her kind are only suitable as hunters or watchmen. Her gift has always seemed useless, until a jarring incident reveals that she alone could change everything for the Sustainers. Ordered by her superiors to be instructed in an ancient, illegal practice, she finds herself surrounded by impossible expectations and disturbed by mysterious warnings. The Sustainers are on their last leg, and her leaders are prepared to take drastic measures to turn the tide. Talitha is tested to her breaking point, sure that her efforts will bring her friends and family freedom, but will she discover the dark secret being kept from her before it's too late?
