Humanity wasn't done yet. The will to survive burned brighter in bones than in flame. After years of war and destruction, the world crumbled and burned. Out of the ashes, some members of the human race developed the ability to control the elements and rose up to save the world from near apocalypse. But with that power, they were also feared. Years later, citizens are held under the thumb of a power-hungry, corrupt government organization, the Purgatio, whose primary mission is to track down the remaining people with the Elemental Anomaly. Piper Eden is a simple girl, orphaned from the Burning, making the most of her circumstances. Everything changes when they take away the only thing that matters to her--her sister, Natalia. After Natalia is taken as one of the suspected Elementals, Piper Eden's life is turned upside down as she is hurtled into a world of secrets, discovering not only the dark side of the world she lives in, but the darkness within herself. Will she be able to tunnel through all the secrets in time, or will her world go up in flames once more? The Elemental Anomaly is the first novel in the author's dystopian YA trilogy featuring a broken world and a new race the Elementals.
