In the city of Starside, a 16-year-old thief named Kila Sigh awakens to a magic power she does not understand and cannot control. It shows her metals, even when they are hidden from view.

And it helps her steal.

And steal she must... because she is desperate to buy medicine for her brother. But when her magic draws the attention of a power-hungry mage called "the Hargothe," she find herself caught in the game of the gods.

For she is the flame in the night, the daughter of ravens, the bringer of death.
