Fire, water, wind, and earth-those are the four elements that Keira Ridger was familiar with. A small percentage of the population have the ability to bend them to their will, and they have made themselves the upper class of Fallhaven. For years, Keira has hoped to be one of the lucky few so that she and her brother Lymm can escape their impoverished life in Oakmont. But there are things happening in the shadows that Keira is unaware of-literally. When she discovers her own ability to manipulate shadows, Keira finds herself caught up in an unfamiliar war.

Along the way, Keira meets Flitt. Like her, he is an orphan. Like her, he has the ability to manipulate shadows. Unlike her, he is confident in himself. But it doesn't take long to find out that that is little more than a mask. As her feelings for him grow, she must ask herself two questions: who is Flitt really, and does he share her feelings?

Can Keira figure out who she can trust before she makes a wrong move? Can she navigate the truths and lies to find the among the Shadows?
