A teenage girl must master her powers before she becomes prey in a post-apocalyptic war... After the apocalypse, the two surviving tribes are locked in a war for the Gottermund River, the only water source untainted by the bomb. Mala is a medic's daughter who'd do anything to be normal. Even break the law. She believes she's on the brink of insanity. She keeps having visions. She can't stand to see the injured soldiers her mother treats; their haunted eyes make her hallucinate. To get rid of the delusions, Mala tries an illegal magic spell. And then, all hell breaks loose.
