Fiery Tesji Brier is an outcast in the remote village of Tiponia. His unusual appearance makes him the bullied target of the other children, while his primal, untamed ability to manipulate the weather has turned him into an object of fear. Just as he enters adulthood, the aftermath of a perplexing prophesy sends Tesji reeling into an adventure of self-discovery. As he travels across the wild continent of Melor, he encounters some who seem to know more about his true nature than Tesji himself does, including the immortal Time Children who haunt the ruined heart of the ancient world. The secrets he discovers about himself on his path to the twisted mountains from his dreams just may save the world... or destroy it.
