They trust in the power of the stones. Angeline and her daughter, Rose, escaped from their home world leaving behind Prince Alair, Rose's new husband after his cousin Balik, the Magician, turned his mind against her. They left without his knowing that he was to be a father. Now Balik has found their refuge. They must help Amey, Rose's daughter, come into her power to free their parallel world from the evil. Angeline, queen of Altidio, has laid the groundwork for the rebellion to oust Balik but, with their discovery, it is now necessary to quickly teach Amey of her heritage and how to harness her gifts to free her father and defeat the Magician.

At seventeen, Amey's greatest joy has been to study gemstones that were found on Bear Claw Mountain- their properties and their uses. Suddenly her life has changed drastically and she finds herself in a new world. She fears the burden her grandmother and mother have placed on her shoulders. Amey gamely studies and practices the art of the stones to become proficient. Her father's life and the freedom of the people of the kingdoms depend on her courage and resourcefulness. With the support of her family and friends and especially Lirin who sees her struggle and offers his companionship and, despite her doubts and fears, Amey explores the depth of her talent and emerges as a singular power with a strong moral compass.
