When seventeen-year-old Delphine's world literally shatters-along with her living room window-she discovers the truth her brother has spent years hiding. They aren't human. They're Aetherials-beings born from the fabric of time, mind, and element itself. Ryan is a Mistborn, a Hydrokinesis-wielding Elementari. Delphine is something far more dangerous-a Chronari, gifted with the power to bend time. But her gift comes at a cost. When buried memories resurface, so does the night she lost control-and the moment her mother died. Ryan confesses to erasing her memories to protect her from herself, and now, with their safety in jeopardy, he's taking her to Crownspire: a hidden island, home to Aetherium Academy, where beings of magic and myth walk among the living. As Delphine steps into a world of Fae, dual-blooded Aetherials, and ancient rivalries, she begins to uncover a truth more terrifying than her brother ever revealed. Her power isn't just rare-it's coveted. And if she can't learn to control it, time itself might unravel.
