Something watches beneath the waves. Can you hear its call? As the world watches in awe, the Firmament, the largest and most luxurious airship ever built, sets sail on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. But for Elijah Bright, a passenger among the thousands aboard, the journey is about to take a dangerous turn. Amidst the opulence and glamour of the skies, a darkness lurks. Something watches from the depths of the ocean, and as the ship hurtles towards its destination, a brutal murder shakes the passengers to their core. With time running out and a killer hiding in their midst, Elijah is thrust into a desperate race to uncover the answers. But as the evidence stacks up and the stakes grow higher, Elijah realizes that the truth is far more sinister than he could have ever imagined. Three hundred feet above the ground, Elijah will be forced to confront a mind-bending secret that threatens to shatter his world. And as the true killer closes in, Elijah must make a choice: succumb to despair, or rise to the challenge and face the horrible truth?

In Elemental magic you can be one of four magic types; water, fire, earth, and air. The only problem is Violet is none of these things. Is she what they call a magic dud, or is she something rarer, more powerful, and more dangerous than anyone could have imagined!? Teasers, "Em, most girls sneak out for a boy, you sneak out for a unicorn." I began to cry as it reached for my face."No!" I screamed. "Please No!" I went to pull back the shower curtain, but some nagging thought in the back of my head stopped me. I didn't have a little brother, so why was there a little boy in my bathroom? I gulped and with shaking hands pulled back the shower curtain. "What!? How could that be!?" I yelled, and covered my hand with my mouth. Shouting wasn't such a good idea right at this moment. If someone heard us and came up here to investigate the noise we were making, they would find a boy and a girl, a bloody knife with both their finger prints on it, and a very very dead body. "Don't touch her!" he hissed and lunged at Henry. Running through the night wearing nothing but a flimsy hospital dress, while waving a dismembered hand in his hand, was a strangeness no regular person could hope to inspire to.
