Synopsis

Mags, Herald Spy of Valdemar, and his wife Amily, the King’s Own Herald, are raising three children. Their daughter Abidela hopes to join the Artificers, believing she lacks a Gift.

When she senses a bridge is about to collapse moments before it happens, she saves lives, including her best friend, Princess Katiana. The incident reveals a Gift that lets her sense physical strain in objects, drawing the attention of both the Artificers and the Healers. As she trains with each group, Abi uncovers further aspects of her ability, including a synaesthetic connection that allows her to ‘see’ as well as feel structural stresses, and she begins to recognise how it could be used to uncover hidden spaces and secrets within Valdemar.
