Sapphyre is an orphan and doesn't remember her parents at all. She is trying to survive life on the streets.She meets up with a boy named Katrivus, the leader of a group of orphans named the Pugs. He is smart enough to know that where one person is weak, a group is strong and can accomplish much more.He teaches Sapphyre to read and it is with this group that she learns she can sense magic.Soon she meets a blind women who gives her a vision of her parents. She also gives her something that tells her which way she has to go to fulfill her destiny.So she heads west and meets Ashcon, who is a Runestar. She is one of the very few people who can see his runes.This is where the adventure begins!Things are starting to happen that were set forth in an ancient prophecy. Sapphyre sets out with Ashcon and Skken to find Sorenthor.He is her only hope to find out her heritage and destiny.This book was a great start to a series. The ending will definitely have you waiting with much anticipation for the second book!The only con I can think of is the writing was a little rough sometimes. It is hard to meet so many characters (this book had a TON of them) when they all sound the same. Hard to differentiate and remember who is who.However, by the end you really know who the characters are and the story line has you very invested in their future.Definitely worth reading!
