Sixteen-year-old Ayanani knows little about the builders, despite being one herself. She knows they are made of a powerful energy, and that they share that energy with the land by way of the energy lines created by a special type of builder called a Catalyst. She knows the landscapes that raised her were all built by her ancestors and meant for her to maintain. But like many builders her age, she cannot feel the energy. For the Catalysts are gone-the king made sure of that-the energy lines broken, and the land which holds both her ancient past and the bright future she yearns for in dire need of repair. It's hopeless to think she'll ever leave this hostile city, meet her real family, or know what it's like to build. But when the king arrives and blames a murder on Ayanani, forcing her near-death escape and unexpected return to Braschendale, home of the builders, Ayanani awakes to a world of unbridled possibility and natural wonder. Met by sprawling mountain terrains, abundant forests, and expansive harvest fields, it is here, rooted deep in the energy lines that Ayanani forms a vital connection with the land, and her energy begins to grow. She will venture deeper into the heart of these landscapes, the more energy that she yields. And though each journey and landmark will uncover more about her past, it won't be until she meets her father, a respected general and deserter of the Royal Guard, forms a lasting friendship with the boy who saved her, and rebuilds the lost connection with her mother, the key link to it all, that Ayanani will finally come to understand who she really is: a Catalyst, the last of her kind
