Jora Lanseri hopes to marry and bear sons, as her duty to Serocia requires, but she possesses an uncommon skill-the ability to enter the Mindstream to witness any event in the present or past. Her plans are interrupted when two men arrive in her hometown and insist she accompany them to the capitol to serve Serocia with her Mindstreaming skill. After being inducted into the Order of Justice Officials and beginning her training as a Truth Sayer, she witnesses a shocking crime, jeopardizing the lives of everyone she cares about-including her own. But Jora has a secret. With the aid of a friendly dolphin, she's been slowly unraveling the mystery of the Spirit Stones, the ancient, singing sculptures that are at the very heart of the crime. Will the sculptures' unfolding mysteries help her bring justice to the perpetrator, or will they lead Jora down a path of destruction that threatens everything-and everyone-she has worked to protect?
