Deep in Dark Shadows

The year is 2039 and the world is a very different place then it was a couple hundred years ago. The great oceans that separated Earth's great continents are gone as well as most fresh water rivers and lakes. A new world wide desert emerges and humans must either adapt or die. Fifteen year old Acacia is a shade, a human with the unique ability to control the elements. She lives in a housing complex for people like her in what once was the Nevada desert. There they learn to control their powers so to use them the right way. At least that's what they're told. But when she sees things that throw into question everything she believes in will she be able to rise from the ashes and become who she's meant to be? Or will everything she's loves turn to dust? In a world full of lies will Acacia be able to find the truth? And if she does will she be able to stop it from destroying her?
