Publisher's Synopsis
As the world collapsed around her, Akara finally grasped the last piece of the Gia Stone. Once whole, the stone sent its magic into the very fabric of the planet, saving all of Casden. After using the stone to heal the world, a strange power emerges from the gem, giving Akara the ability to feel and use the energy in water. But with this new power comes greater responsibility, and Akara has no desire to do more than she already has for a world that has made it very clear she doesn't belong. With Akara doing her best to ignore the gift she's been given, and the world no longer in danger of ending, Rydan struggles to understand his purpose. At one time he'd been the prince of a people, respected and admired for his abilities. Now he finds himself hiding in a village, feared by all. He can't live like this forever. But unbeknownst to him, there are those in Casden who seek the Gia Stone, desiring its rumored powers for themselves. And Rydan's wish for a purpose will be answered in the most dreadful way possible. By saving Akara from those who will do anything to discover the secrets of her stone.
