It was looking like Lady Luck had quite a grudge against him. In fact, at this point merely crashing the multi-billion-dollar ship he had helped design would have felt like winning the lottery compared to his current dilemma. If only he were so lucky. Things had started off all right - that is, until a freak wormhole unexpectedly swallowed his ship, leaving him stranded on an unknown planet far, far from home.

For 14 years Jedda's home has been in the shadows and alleys of Tatak Rhe-city of the wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. He scrounges for survival in dirty clothes that don't keep him warm, and he relies in his nimble fingers to keep himself fed. But, buried in his blood lies the gift of magic: an invisible hand guiding his life. Cold and hungry, he nicks the coin purse of the wrong man. Karrahk is one of the city's powerful rulers. The man looks into Jedda's green eyes and at the tawny skin that betrays a hidden heritage. He makes a decision that will change a hungry boy's life forever.
