Publisher's Synopsis
"Ancient sword play clashes with high-tech fencing on a world where a young artist's work soars on its own, a brother seeks his lost sister, and an ancient power threatens planets. A destructive energy is gaining strength on the planet Saffrian. The artist Cabrill, barely seventeen, sees hints of the threat in her paintings, which fly and soar as if alive. Her art is a warning. Her own guild declares it dangerous and wants her dead. Still, she continues to create. Her images are filled with a brother and sister. The girl, thirteen-year-old Skylar, who suddenly emerged through a portal that had been sealed for centuries, is being held captive nearby; but the boy, sixteen year-old Austin pictured in shiny clothes wielding an impossibly thin sword, is on a planet far away. Cabrill and her friend Po must unite the siblings so they can battle the danger that threatens to tear her world apart"--.
