It all started with a prophecy… Human—that’s what Lilah Phillips thought she was until her Elemental powers kicked in on her twenty-first birthday. With her powers emerging, Lilah must navigate a world she knew nothing about to prove she’s worthy. Because if she can’t, her Elements will be stripped from her very soul. Chances of surviving? Well below zero. With two best friends, a Celestial partner, and a whole lot of guy trouble, Lilah’s time at the Elemental Academy may be more than she bargained for. Can this half-human, half-Elemental prove she’s worthy, or will the Academy’s secrets toss her into an early grave?

Sometimes death isn’t the ending. Sometimes it’s the beginning. Lilah Phillips is surprised when she arrives unceremoniously in Kealani. She’s even more surprised when she is met by the Celestial King himself, who begins to tell long-held secrets. She’s stunned to learn she’s the owner of the ultra-rare Soul element, and Lilah is shaken to discover she’s attached to another soul. That soul just happens to be Eliana, the firstborn daughter and previous scion Kealani. Lilah knows she needs to master this new element—and the soul living inside of her—if she wants to survive and seal the breaches in order to save both worlds. Will she be able to succeed? Or will she be consumed by both?

Being on Earth, the only home she’s known, should be easy. But for Lilah Phillips, it’s a whole different game and she doesn’t know the rules. Between studying for exams, reconnecting with her family and friends, and the whole “back from the beyond” thing, there’s only so much one girl can handle. Especially when she must share the truth about Eliana, the previous Scion of Kealani, to Daigo, her Lumiere. When the academy is threatened and Lilah’s true powers are revealed, she must go before the Elite Council and prove she’s worthy of those powers—and her life. As secrets are revealed and new information comes to light, Lilah realizes she has two options. She can remain true to herself. Or she can follow a path that breaks every value she holds dear. The only problem? One option will lead to Lilah being locked away in the Deep Abyss for eternity.
