When a devastating car crash rips seventeen-year-old Keira Altman from the only life she's ever known, she awakens in Loren - a land teetering on the brink of war and where magic is wielded by an elite few. Torn from her family and desperate for answers, Keira's only hope of finding a way home lies with the Legion of Pneumos, an enigmatic order sworn to master the art of pneumonancy and restore balance to a fracturing realm.

As Keira navigates this strange new world, she must learn to trust her grounder, Danny, whose roguish charm belies a painful past. Their profound connection holds the key to unlocking Keira's latent powers, but her deep-seated fears and the weight of Danny's secrets threaten to shatter their fragile bond.

As whispers of rebellion and unrest spread through the villages of Loren, and a darkness begins to poison the very land itself, Keira finds herself at the heart of an ancient struggle that could reshape the foundations of the world. Guided by the Legion's wise but mysterious mentors, Keira and Danny must master their abilities if they hope to unravel the twisted web of magic, politics, and destiny that binds them. She must decide who to trust and how far she's willing to go, even as the fates of both Loren and those she holds most dear hang in the balance. For chaos is looming, and time is quickly running out . . .
