In the colorful heart of Atlantia on the island of Atlantis lives a scrawny teenage girl unaware that she will soon become a leader and hero. For now, Sapphire lives a secluded life in The Elders' Compound with, much older, seers. Her only respite is visiting her grandmother in the forests of Iolite twice a year and when Jasper, her only friend, visits the compound. For the most part, these last fifteen years have been one boring lesson after another learning the mysteries of science, math, history and the ways of humans. Little does she know of the gifts she will soon receive for her upcoming sixteenth birthday nor the battle she will fight to save the human world.
