Alexander Stowe is a twin, his brother is Aaron Stowe. Alex is unwanted, Aaron is wanted, and their parents are needed. Alex is creative in a world where you can't even see the whole sky, and the military is everyone's dream job. He should have been eliminated, just like all undesirables should have been. Instead, he stumbles upon Artimè, where he trains as a magical warrior - after a while. When he was still in basic training, and his friends weren't, he got angry, he wants to be the leader, the one everyone looks up to. The main idea is to be yourself, not to change for someone else. At first, Alex lived in Quill, a place where you could be anything but yourself. If you have demonstrated creativity in any form, you have committed an offense. At thirteen, those who had committed offenses were undesirables, depending on the severity of the offense.

There were a few flashbacks, to when Alex had his first offense, before he turned 13, and to Artimé's first day, after having been there for a while. In fact, the author gives no date. All Lisa McMann told us was the time of day. The events are instead simply given to us in order, and it's sort of up to you to keep track of the days, if you wish, but it's not essential. The author created this book to entertain us, but also to teach us that you should not change for anyone, that you should express yourself however you want.
