Around the world, magic is woven into everyday life. From Europe's elemental academies to Asia's ancestral rune schools and the sprawling network of North American training grounds, children ages ten to seventeen spend every summer in camps designed to teach them how to control magic-or survive without it. What most teens consider a yearly obligation, Emera has always treated as something far more serious. Raised by her aunt in a quiet Michigan town, she has spent every summer at Camp Aurelia, doing everything she can to understand a magic that has never quite behaved the way it should. Emera has never believed she was powerful. If anything, she thinks she's broken. Her magic is unpredictable, strong one moment, silent the next, never consistent, never normal. While other students cast clean, sharp spells, Emera's magic feels like static: buzzing, restless, wrong. She hides the misfires. She hides the strange reactions. She hides the dream echoes that haunt her nights, fragmented memories that couldn't possibly be hers. And the faint symbols that sometimes flicker beneath her skin? She shoves her sleeves down and tells herself they're just afterimages from spells taught too late at night. The counselors watch her. Her aunt worries. But no one knows the truth. Emera is not simply different. She is one half of a Twinborn-a rare, nearly extinct magical phenomenon in which identical twins inherit a split ancient power so potent the realms once trembled beneath it. One twin carries Creation. The other carries Destruction. Separated at birth, their magic was divided and hidden to save them from warlocks who sought to control their power. But as the protective spells begin to weaken and the dream echoes grow stronger, Emera's Awakening approaches-and the truth she was never meant to uncover surges to the surface. When destiny rises, when fate reveals its hand, and when Emera finally sees the world for what it truly is, the collision will change everything.
