Ember was just having a normal day in the school counselor’s office- But her day is soon altered by not only her counselor quitting her job, but by two men appearing out of air coming to take her away. Ember is taken to the Linlea Peaks, where all Elementals- Gnomes, Sylphs, Undines, and Salamanders- are taken when they turn sixteen. Elementals are the beings of earth, air, water, and fire. When Ember reaches the Linlea Peaks, terror has already begun to reign down upon the Elementals. Any Elemental not in residing in the Linea Peaks have disappeared. The Quintessence, a “fifth” elemental, are waging war against the Elementals for the first time ever. Because of her persistence to help, Ember is sent along with seven other young Elementals to find the lair of the Quintessence, hidden somewhere in New York City. Without any adult Elementals around to conquer the Quintessence, it's up to the eight Elementals to save their kind from utter destruction. But is the task too daunting? Biweekly updates.

Everyone is hiding from something; a secret, a lie. Mine just happens to be a curse, one bestowed upon me before my first birthday; a curse that says I'm supposed to die before I turn sixteen. But that isn't going to happen, because I have a plan. You see, it's impossible to prick your finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel if you're locked in a cell.
