Akyra was raised in the Sky realm by her mother, an entire civilization up above the clouds. She wonders more than normal about the land below-all she can see is a stretch of plains for miles upon miles. What really goes on beneath the surface? Rayna was raised in the Earth realm by her father. The entire realm is underground in caves of all sizes, where many live their lives without seeing sunlight once. Rayna travels to the surface daily, a job she unwillingly took. She admires the sunlight but is also curious: what goes on up above in the Sky realm? Two completely different people brought together by unfortunate circumstances find themselves questioning everything they were ever taught and discovering secrets of the realms that should have stayed buried for many years longer.
