After an accident took her parents' lives and left her drowning in grief, she finds fleeting comfort in her recurring dreams of ocean waves. But when the waves come for her while she's awake, Marina falls through the cracks of her world and into Elsudra, a realm torn apart by war and ruled by a dictator who seeks to control the source of its magic. Elsudrans call it the Omnia, and it has latched onto her. Forced into hiding and harboring a power she neither wants nor understands, Marina fights against her fate, despite being told she should've chosen it herself. When she begins showing inclinations toward the Omnia's power, however, she can't help but wonder why someone like her-plagued by internal storms and guilt-would've been tasked with such an extreme burden. The more she fights for home, the more intense her dreams grow, and with them, looming threats that force her to confront the darkness both around and within her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMagner, Melissa K.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Melissa K.
