In a world above the poisoned ground, a girl born of the earth could be humanity's last hope-or its final downfall. In the floating city of Celestine, life is stable, structured, and-most importantly-far from the poisoned earth below. But sixteen-year-old Maia has never quite fit in, and her affinity for the forbidden history of the ground is more than just curiosity. When an ancient force threatens to drag the floating cities back to the corrupted earth, Maia's hidden past is exposed: she's the last Earthborn, the only person who was born on the ground. Shunned by her city and hunted by powerful forces, Maia must descend to the toxic world below and unlock the secret to her heritage if she's to save her people from an unimaginable fate. With help from a defiant boy and a rogue mage, Maia faces deadly trials, treacherous ruins, and her own fears-discovering along the way that her connection to the earth may be the only hope to heal a world on the brink of ruin. Join Maia in her quest to unravel the secrets of her past, brave the dangers of the poisoned earth, and face a primal force that could change her world forever. Dive into The Last Earthborn and discover if Maia's destiny will heal or destroy everything she loves.
