The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world.The citizens are organized. Everyone’s been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is … no one knows for sure how it will end.Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their homeland and gaining more energy than they can contain.The Mages travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.And soon, Ashara and Loken begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara’s death.“Proving character-driven science fiction is not an oxymoron, Ashara Vinn pulls readers into her world on page one and never lets go … This world has depth, mirroring the memorable characters who populate it.” —Kirkus Reviews
