Grief lives beneath his skin. Joy is her prison. Fear chimes with every step. Rage burns through his veins. And love glows where her heart should be.

When the queen of Velanthos dies, her five children inherit shards of pure emotion, magic that transforms their bodies and traps each in a single feeling. The kingdom calls it a gift. It doesn't feel like one.

Now the floating islands are falling. An ancient secret stirs in the mist below. And the siblings discover their mother wasn't just protecting the kingdom.

She was hiding something.

To save Velanthos, they'll have to uncover a truth that could shatter everything they believe about their family, their world, and each other.
