Fifteen-year-old Orianon lives the good life among the lush gardens on the bright side of Corista, a small planet circling three suns. Her family is wealthy and well connected, and Ori herself has a special gift: the ability to mentally record everything she sees and experiences. And when a wonderful new music teacher comes to her school, it seems like things couldn?t get better. But they get worse. When the teacher, Jesmet, starts teaching new songs and new ideas, some parents are alarmed. Could he really be a Faithbreaker, an enemy, the way Orianon's father says? She never finds out, because when Orianon grows too close to her teacher, her memory is wiped, and Jesmet is banished to the shadow side of Corista. Disoriented and confused, Orianon loses her way in Shadowside, where she is rescued by the Owlings?people she didn?t know existed who devoutly follow a holy man ? named Jesmet. Even as Ori struggles to make sense of what she's learned, her new friends in Shadowside face a deadly threat from Brightside. Will Orianon learn to follow her heart?and make a difference in both worlds? |
