Mixed-race teen Myra knows two social realities in New Heart City: one of "Plat" privilege and the other steeped in discrimination against "Lefties," mainly for the kind's untrustworthy ability to flicker in and out of visibility. Myra has avoided flickering all her life, but recent reports of unseen vandals may disrupt that. Detailed magical descriptions and highly developed social dynamics immerse readers in this world.
