The disastrous yurdarks are born from the elements, ravage Essence City, then die by the evil king's hand. When one is powerful enough to evade his mindless army, Neema's best friend, Tem, is torn from her arms to serve. Neema then joins a rebellious adventure in hopes of stopping the endless cycle of torment and getting him back. But as a mindless soldier, will he still be the Tem she knew? Finding out could cost the entire rebellion... and the rest of Essence City with it.
