On what should have been a mundane school trip, seven teenagers venture into the woods and stumble upon an ancient, unholy ritual site. When a blinding eruption of crimson light knocks them unconscious, they wake up hours later, changed. Back in their normal lives, extraordinary elemental abilities begin to flare—except for Ethan, who is left entirely behind in the dark.
Ashton can command fire, Ross controls the wild gales, Hayley manipulates water, and Ellen can see the spirits of the dead. Even the privileged, arrogant Scott finds himself bound to the earth. But the real danger lies with Aiden. Haunted by a tragic past and trapped in a violent home, his volatile dark power only activates when a horrific flash of violence forces him to open the door to the shadows.
With an impending cosmic evil waking up beneath the town, the group must learn to control their unnatural gifts before reality itself begins to bleed away. But the darkness has already targeted Aiden, tempting his fractured soul with absolute power. Torn between his fierce loyalty to his twin and the consuming shadows, Aiden faces a deadly choice. Now, his teammates must find a way to save him from the dark—before he destroys everything they hold dear.
