Adira's whole life has revolved around the ocean and what it has to offer her people, the Dorian. As she comes into her twenty-second year, she's faced not only with the responsibility of coming into her role as one of the five Legions, but also choosing a mate at the upcoming ceremony. But can she risk losing a lifelong friend for the possibility of something more? As she is taught a daunting truth about the real history of her people, she is faced with the harsh reality that her world is much bigger than Maurea. Before she has the chance to absorb the groundbreaking news, disaster strikes, and her world starts to fall apart. Without even understanding what the rest of the world entails, she must embark on a journey outside of Maurea to find a place for her people to settle, or risk the Dorian belonging to the sea for good.
