The world didn't end in fire or flood. It ended with exposure.
When the existence of a race of elemental women, known as Sages, is revealed to the world, fear turns to hatred. What began as whispered threats becomes open violence, as a rising extremist group-known in the United States as the Deliverers-declare the Sages a threat, and set out to eradicate them.
Mina never asked for power. In fact, she may be the only Sage alive without a defined elemental mark. But when the people she loves are threatened, and cities begin to fall under militant control, Mina and her chosen family must flee into the shadows of a broken world.
With her friends at her side, she must navigate grief, power, and survival-while holding onto the fragile hope that something better still exists beyond the ruins.
Told through raw emotion, quiet resistance, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood, this novel is a gripping exploration of identity, persecution, and what it means to fight for a future when the past has already burned.
