What if the world is controlled by an elite few who are responsible for keeping it in balance, and every country, government, military, media, and business is being skillfully manipulated to protect the planet from destruction? Twelve-year-old Emily Jones is an average pre-teen--or so she believes until she is invited to attend North Shore Academy, where she quickly discovers that she's anything but ordinary. People she's never met are strangely familiar, the curriculum is unlike any school she's ever imagined, and all the students have an affinity towards an element. Unlike the other students, though, Emily has more than one affinity. As she struggles to control her elements (and her temper), she learns that her soul has lived many lifetimes. She must complete the Awakening to understand how her past lives fit with her current one. While balance is the premise taught at North Shore, some believe that power combined with modern technology is the correct path to take. How will Emily reconcile the struggle between power and balance, all while trying to deal with normal teenaged circumstances in her not-so-normal world?
