Every act of defiance steers you into the person you were always been meant to become. After Nimaka’s death and the older selves returning to their own time, Kylie ran from all she’d known and grown up with at North Opal Pines, but she soon learns she can’t run far or fast enough. She thought she could leave it all behind: go back to being a normal high school student, make new friends, keep her grades up and her mother happy. But Nimaka’s death has only rallied the two other, and now they’ve stalked Kylie to her new school. Even worse, they have a mysterious new leader who no longer seeks to just kill Kylie but all those she knows and loves…. and the body count is rising. Kylie can’t get by on “just surviving” anymore: to protect herself — let alone those around her — she must become as strong and cunning as Siani was, or she’ll not only become trapped in the incarnation cycle but everyone she’s ever known and loved will die with her.

“When the deal was struck, none of them knew that, to balance the existence of these mortals, The Before needed to create something else. The Primes were made to be creators. The mortals were more complicated in that they had the potential for destruction. They had nothing to guide this need to destroy, so The Before, begrudgingly, created a Prime to fill this void. A new Prime to provide direction, The Before named it: Corruption." Dia had everything: a loving family, a best friend who knew all her secrets, and a boy who might have been the love of her life. Then she became the thing that shouldn't exist, the Impossible Host, carrier of the spirit and power of the deity known as the Air Prime. Her sudden transformation brought chaos and death, nearly destroying the island of Lunos. Unable to handle the pain she caused, she ran away, never stopping long enough for her past to catch up. But when duty calls, there's nowhere left to run. Forced to return to the scene of her greatest failure, Dia must join her former friends in a desperate mission: gather the remaining Hosts before Corruption takes hold of humanity. The fate of seven nations hangs in the balance, and time is running out faster than she thinks. To save her world, she must bear the weight of everyone's distrust and hope it doesn't break her completely. But first, she must face her once-best friend, who can hardly look at her, and survive her maybe-boyfriend losing his body. She watched her world fall apart once. Now, she'll do whatever it takes to save it— even if that means embracing the impossible.
