After surviving near-fatal childhood events that awakened extraordinary powers, nine gifted teens are brought to Arion Academy, a secret sanctuary where ability-users train to control the forces that nearly killed them. Zephyr Rook, an air prodigy afraid of his own intensity, meets Rian Vale, a charismatic shapeshifter whose past left him terrified of being truly seen. Their reluctant partnership sparks a slow, simmering pull neither wants to admit. Meanwhile, tensions rise between elemental Houses, a string of mysterious power surges threatens the school’s stability, and students begin collapsing with symptoms eerily similar to their original traumas. As alliances deepen and rivalries ignite, the nine must unravel who—or what—is draining their strength. To save the academy, they have to face the past that shaped them and the future that demands they stand together… or watch everything unravel like breath in a storm.
