"This other magic Ciara possesses, I touched upon it once… It terrifies me."

Dark, unpredictable, and dangerous, that other magic terrifies Ciara as well. In complete opposition to her earth magic, it threatens to rip her apart if she can't learn to control it.

That task is made even more difficult when Donovan, whose secrets could be Ciara's undoing, makes her a proposition: either accept his training, or lose all she holds dear, including Bolin, the man sworn to protect her.

There's no denying the growing attraction between Ciara and Bolin, but is it truly Ciara he desires? The power she harbors calls to him even when Ciara is nowhere near. It promises more than Bolin could ever imagine, but at what cost?

All of them stand at the brink of darkness, and only Ciara's ability to control the power she holds will determine the outcome.
