They moved with each breath I took. I'd never wanted to be an Essential before, but for a moment I wished they were mine. - The Ordinary Natalie knew her life would change when she agreed to immerse herself in the Essential world but she could never have anticipated just how much. She came to teach Essentials about the Ordinary world and how to live undetected among them, but she didn't realize how difficult living among Essentials would be. And then there's him. The moment she saw him something changed within her. He controls energy. It moves through him and for him. He is an Essential. She, an Ordinary, represents everything he despises. With upheaval in the surrounding kingdoms, Natalie's days of teaching do not last long and she finds herself in the middle of a violent search for the Ordinary heir to the throne. Haunted by a recurring dream and caught between her Ordinary boyfriend and the Essential she is unexplainably drawn to, Natalie struggles to manage this new tumultuous world she has become a part of. She went to Kambrasia to teach Essentials how to live in the Ordinary world, but will she survive in theirs?
