"On the faraway world of Demetria, in the floating city of Meridian, lives a girl named Sephie. When her father, the Minister of Meridian, dies mysteriously, Sephie receives strange magical powers -- and grave responsibilities as Meridian's next Minister. Her uncle Ilahn, minister of Cadador, takes Sephie under his wing. But Sephie learns that Ilahn is more than merely the ambitious leader of Cadador. She must escape Ilahn's grasp and begin an adventure whose outcome will change the world!"--P. [4] of cover.
