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.
