Artan is a young man with a secret. He has the ability to read people’s minds and hear their thoughts. Struggling to survive in a war-torn, poverty-stricken town, he’s been using his newfound power to cheat in casinos; a game that soon backfires when he gets caught. But the worst is still to come. In the middle of the night, the town comes under siege by marauding Ha’shon warriors. Artan is forcibly taken from his home and led on a journey that will change his life – and the fate of his world – forever.
