My people use the power ofthe earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I am the half-breed bastardchild of a king. I was not meant to survive the trials cast my way. Yet, here Istand. 
 
The world has deteriorated in the twentyyears I was imprisoned in an oubliette. The Elemental families are rife withdeception, violence, and madness more than ever before.
 
A voice I know all too well calls me to doher bidding. A voice I no longer wish to hear. The mother goddess begs me tosave the four families, and stop my nemesis from breaking the world. To do it,I must face each of the Elemental leaders and take from them the over addictivepower they hold closely: the stones I once handed them in friendship and trust.
 
Now, the secrets I unearth as I pursue thestones shatter everything I know about my world, my beliefs, and everything Iwas taught.
 
Yet, I am not the naïve girl I once was. If Iam to see this through, I must completely embrace the new reality of my lifeand all its obstacles while forging ahead.
 
Four stones abused.
Four families broken.
A half-breed princess as their only hope.
 
Through it all, the one I love waits for meto find him. When I do, will he, like everything else in my world, not be whathe once was?
