In a magical land where your worth is dictated by the rings on your fingers, Jemmah hopes for nine of them – to protect Rakai from the Empire and be admired by all. Yet, on her fifteenth birthday, the gift she secretly wishes for is a simple one: for her sisters to be kind to her. Kind, like she is.
But the only gift her sisters give her that day is a choice. A choice that changes her.
Two years later, Jemmah is no longer kind. She no longer cares about her sisters or Rakai or the Empire. She certainly doesn’t care for the pathetic rebellion. Kindness is for fools and Jemmah will do anything to survive. Society doesn’t value her, so she decides to value only the wealth she can claw into her grasp – the cold hard shiny kind. Or, better yet, the rings that should have been hers.
Just when Jemmah is formulating a plan to return her lost magic, a roguish rebel swoops in and sweeps her, literally, off her feet. Thorn is as annoying as he is powerful, and he flaunts his nine rings while taking her further from getting hers back.
Jemmah is determined to escape Thorn, but she cannot deny he is making her question what she believes …
What is her true worth? Where does power really lie? And what does she truly value?

London girl Katie O'Reilly dreams of becoming a doctor, but a disappointing grade soon gives her doubts. Her physics-whizz classmate, Geeky James, could help her revise, except their last conversation was when she rejected him...
Unfortunately, she is forced into close contact with James at a school science competition. Or maybe that’s fortunately? A shared meal has her wondering if they could be friends after all.
Just as Katie and James start to move past their awkwardness, things get complicated by another confusing physicist: Dr Seb.
Seb works at the secretive research centre nearby, and if Katie thinks he makes a bad first impression, his second is even worse when his careless actions put her in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time.
Flung far from home, Katie sets out on a journey to find her way back. She ends up spending more time than she intended to with both James and Seb, as well as two British Ambassadors and even an Empress. And while some of the events on her journey encourage her passion for medicine, others threaten to destroy it.
Whether she finally discovers a way home or not, Katie discovers something just as important: how to move on.
