16-year-old Lorelai Thompson is an Unchosen -- weak, mortal and destined for nothing. In a world of Gold and Silver she strives to find a place for someone like her. In a chance of fate, she eats a Forbidden Fruit, becoming something altogether not quite Silver, Gold or Unchosen. Welcomed into the ranks of the royal family that rules over her kingdom, she falls in love with a prince and gets a chance to truly change her world for the better, or watch it burn as penance for the pain of her ancestors. What path will she choose?
