When Raisa Hopeland, determined to win her race to become the next electromancer of London, bumps into Amon Brightbourne--tweed-suited, otherworldly, guided by the Grace--in the middle of a London riot, she sets in motion a series of events which will span decades, continents and a series of events which will change the world.

From rioting London to geothermal Iceland to the climate-struck islands of Polynesia, from birth to life to death, from tranquillity to terror to joy, Raisa's journey will encompass the world. But one thing will always be true.

Hopeland is family--and family is dangerous.
