Following her mother's unexplained disappearance five years ago, seventeen-year-old Rena has become both a reluctant young sorceress and an emotional hurricane to those closest to her. Torn between her past and future, Rena searches for answers, finding only more questions. Yet when she disturbs an ancient force slumbering beneath her forest, an ensuing power points to one conclusion: Rena's already mysterious family may not have been human at all. By night Rena dreams of her vanished mother's hollow face and dimming glow. By day her mind splinters with the borrowed memories of a lost world's final days. In her heart something new and powerful is taking root: the truth is rising, and the past may not be as dead and forgotten as she's been led to believe. Asjoria is awakening.
