A Flood of Energy

All things are made of Vita, a form of energy that is unconsciously manipulated to allow life and consciously wielded as power. Only a few can harness it, and fewer still can bend it to their will. Lyra is one of them—or rather, she wants to be. Born too late, in an age where forming nations seek peace and ambition is frowned upon, she must hide her hunger for strength. But the world is about to change. A force greater than anything history has recorded is rising, and with it comes her chance—to defy the rules, survive the chaos, and claim the power that others thought lost forever.
