SERAFINA BELVA OCTONOVA’s world is teetering on the brink of extinction, where fresh water vanishes and life fades away. Some must die, so others may live. It’s the saying of her people, the reason the trials began all those years ago. But when Serafina discovers she’s an Essentari—a bearer of elemental magic—she becomes one of the hunted, further diminishing her chances of survival.
Forced to place her trust in the enigmatic and infuriatingly handsome prince—someone she can’t help but detest because, unlike her, he doesn’t have to compete to survive—Serafina is whisked away to the Imperial City where she’ll soon learn exactly what it takes to become one of the few who get to live.
In this gripping adult dystopian romantasy, join Serafina on a heart-pounding journey of self-discovery, betrayal, love, and determination. Her fate, and the fate of a crumbling world, hang in the balance.
