Born with power? You will burn.

More than a century ago, the Hand of Reason rose against Reor’s corrupt ruler and ended the age of Touched power. But in the quest for equality amongst all citizens, difference has become dangerous. Those born with a developed sixth sense – Touched by Light – are an affront to reason, doomed to die in flames.

When faced with a Touched daughter, Felim and Marie Lengahr choose to preserve their way of life and the future of their son, Raf, by sending Maia away with her uncle, Peryst de Arranu, who will rear her as his own.

As the Hand slowly expands its reach beyond the Reordan borders, the Lengahr siblings couldn’t have more different lives. In this five-book series, follow them as they grow up in a time when hatred and bigotry rein unchecked, culminating in the ultimate showdown between Reason and Light as well as brother and sister.
