Magic made of time and space unveils a hidden world of epic proportions, where Ember Slade's presence brings destruction. After maiming her sister and murdering her foster parents, Ember isolates herself in Dallas, haunted by her past and determined to avoid causing harm again. However, her life changes when soldiers ambush her on a train and take her to the island kingdom of Nysa. There, she learns she is the last alloy of their hidden world, and her untapped abilities are the source of her past accidents. In exchange for her allegiance, the soldiers offer to teach her to control her powers. Desperate to escape her painful past and return to her sister, Ember accepts the deal. Yet, Nysa is fraught with danger: the queen is envious, the nymphs seek revenge, and a mysterious man tells her lies. When she encounters the trapped Princess Ademure, who begs for help, Ember hesitates, fearing her lethal abilities. But when she discovers the queen's plans to wage war by sacrificing her own daughter, she can no longer remain passive. Ember must save the princess and escape before the conflict ignites, risking everything to protect one life and uncovering whether lightning can strike twice. This debut urban epic fantasy weaves together magic, political intrigue, family mysteries, and friendships, appealing to readers who love tales of empowerment against adversity.
