They quickly discover they both have unusual birthday presents, given to them by their parents.

During the three months since then, she has been, as far as she knows, the only person on Earth able to read minds. So is with great relief that she meets Ethan Green, another mind reader like herself. They quickly discover they both have unusual birthday presents, given to them by their parents. Hers, a silver flower pendant set with a translucent white stone; his, a silver wild cat entwined around a black leather band, its body made of the same stone. Together, they try to find out more about their presents - without asking their parents.

When a new teacher whose mind they can't read arrives at their school, their brief hope that he can explain things quickly fades. Soon they, along with Kiara's best friend Phoebe, find themselves lost, hunted and running for their lives on the world of Tartha, where Kiara and Ethan were born.

For Kiara and Ethan have discovered they are Stone Keepers, unwitting guardians of a great power that many seek to own. To restore peace to their world, they must find the other three like themselves and fulfil the ancient Prophesy of Arithnar - not an easy task when they have no idea who or where the other Stone Keepers are and the enemy will do anything to stop them realising their destiny. Who is the enemy, though, and who can they trust?
