A city of immortals has fallen into darkness.A misfit farm girl is drawn to the surrounding hills.
Twelve clans are tormented by a sinister new foe.
Can those hunted down for having half a soul save this land?
Seventeen-year-old Emerin Gareth has always known that there is something unusual about her. Constantly plagued by headaches that compel her to wander away from home and into the surrounding mountains, Emerin is always a source of concern to her parents and her future husband. She knows that she will never be able to live the life that's expected of her in her small farming community.
But a chance meeting with a strange creature in need of help changes Emerin’s life forever, leading her to question everything she’s ever known. She finally understands just how very different she is and how different the world is from the sheltered life she has always known.
On the other side of the Riverlands lies Nebril City, a sprawling metropolis that is taking over the lands that surround it. But this growing city has a dark secret that threatens the security of everyone around it, and only a select few are able to right the wrongs that have been committed. And, at the height of the summer, the weather keeps mysteriously getting colder.
Now Emerin and her best friend Jalya, two naïve farm girls, must leave home for the first time and embark on an epic journey over dangerous terrain. The world outside of their village is full of fantastic creatures, diverse communities, unexpected friends, and unimaginable horrors—horrors which they have the power to stop, if only they can follow through with the quest they have been given: to restore balance to the spirit world in order to save the physical world in which they live. To complete their mission, Jalya must find her missing brother, and Emerin must find a part of herself that she never knew existed.
