From New York Times bestselling author Amy Ewing (The Jewel) comes the exciting 1st book in a fresh fantasy duology. Affluent, vibrant world-building and ethereal magic combine within an epic story that’s perfect for fans of Snow Like Ashes, These Broken Celebrities, or Magonia.

Sera Lighthaven has always felt as if she didn’t quite belong among her people, the Cerulean, who live in the City Over the Sky. She actually is interested in everything-especially the planet that her Town is magically tethered to-and can’t about The Cerulean prevent questioning issues. Sera has always longed for your day when the tether will finally break as well as the Cerulean can proceed to a new planet.

But when Sera is particular as the sacrifice to break the tether, she feels betrayed by everything in which she’d been taught to trust. To conserve her City, Sera must end her personal life.

But something goes wrong, and Sera survives, ending up on the planet below inside a country called Kaolin. Sera offers heard stories about the harmful human beings who live right here, and she quickly learns that these problems were not simply stories.

Meanwhile, back in the City, almost all isn’t what it appears, and the life span of every Cerulean may be in peril if Sera is not able to find a way home.
