She's been trained to follow where her Core leads.
Until it leads her away from everything she's ever known . . . into mortal danger.
Eighteen-year-old Kayli-el discovers that she is part of a new species evolving on her planet, with a powerful internal guidance called the Core. After her teacher is murdered for its secrets, Kayli-el runs for her life – right into the arms of Tamber, a boy who’s crossed the ocean on a mysterious quest to find . . . her!
But the same killers who murdered her teacher have captured her best friend Serene. Kayli-el faces a choice with potentially deadly consequences: follow her Core’s wisdom and flee to safety across the ocean with Tamber, or defy her own guidance to save her best friend's life.
