Arden Lewis has a secret. When Arden discovers she can control the weather, she leaves her secluded family farm to live in Everglen among her own kind-Paragons who can control the elements with their minds and bodies. Arden soon learns that being a Paragon means being a target for darker forces that want to exploit her Talent-or destroy it. She must navigate the turmoil of high school and the uncertainty of her first crush, all while keeping her Talent from prying eyes. She needs to keep secrets in order to survive. But secrets are built on lies, and when secrecy becomes paramount, the lies become dangerous. No matter whom she trusts, no matter how hard she tries to control her Talent, Arden's life begins to spiral out of control-with fatal consequences.
