Kai Lynn Riordan is a Diviner– she can touch something and look through the eyes of the person who held it last. This is mostly a useful ability, something that allows her to tell fortunes and find lost people and objects.

Te Ling is a huge, bustling city and there are always cases for her to earn money from, lost puppies, stolen family heirlooms and telling tourists their fortunes. However, Kai's easy, profitable life becomes full of danger when she's handed the case of a missing Mage, and she's dropped into a world that holds more secrets than she ever thought existed.
