When Adamine grows up, she discovers she has the gift of warning: the power to protect, inspire, and terrify. But when she is sent to live in England, her prophecies of impending disaster are met with a different kind of fear--people think she is insane and lock her away in a mental hospital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow an older woman, the spirited Adamine wants to tell her story.
