On the highest cliff of Sanska, lies a garden above the sea, where the sun leans down to grant worthy citizens elemental magic . . . Cyra is anxious to attend her Sun Ceremony and dreams of being chosen for the elite Sun Court like her sister, Eden. But when her Sun ceremony takes a surprising turn, Cyra draws the suspicion of the four powerful Empyreans, and her bright future crumbles. The Empyreans order Cyra into elemental training until she proves her magic is not dangerous. When Cyra discovers her sister Eden is missing, she aligns with Atlas, a handsome outlier with his own secrets. Together, they search for their magic's purpose and the reason why magic in Sanska is fading. As Cyra and Atlas delve deeper into the Sun Court, they learn that too much power can corrupt anyone and that Sanska's history was purposefully rewritten. Cyra and Atlas race to uncover the truth before their unusual power condemns them to exile, and Eden, along with Sanska's true magical history, are lost forever.
