Sixteen-year-old Thomas has always been an outsider. The first child born without the power of an elementโearth, water, wind, or fireโhe has little to offer his tiny, remote Outer Banks colony. Or so the Guardians would have him believe.

Caught between the Plague-ridden mainland and the advancing pirates, Thomas and his friends fight for survival in the battered remains of a mysterious abandoned settlement. But the secrets they unearth will turn Thomasโs world upside-down, and bring to light not only a treacherous past but also a future more dangerous than he can possibly imagine.
