Blurb —

Aliah never asked for her life to change. She only wanted to protect her sister. But when fire erupts from her hands in the middle of class, she loses everything, including her anonymity, her safety, and the fragile normal she’s barely holding together.

Pulled into the breathtaking yet brutal world of Aerania, Aliah discovers she’s a Leinara. A name spoken like prophecy and feared like a curse. With her sister still trapped on Earth and her best friend Sawyer as her only anchor, Aliah is thrust into a realm of shattered truths and a legacy she never wanted.

Hunted by the elusive Order of the Echo and haunted by secrets no one will reveal, Aliah must uncover the truth behind her bloodline before it reduces everything she loves to ash.
