Publisher's Synopsis
Time is not a gift. Time is our enemy.
Across the five kingdoms of Delen, the coasts are eroding into the overtaking seas. Waters that rise, year after year, swallow the precious resources within the unforgiving waves, never to surface again. And those precious resources are the core of the never-ending wars that have been spanning a millennia, each kingdom eager to possess control over their people's survival. While the lands are scarce on resources, they are filled with Boost - civilians with extreme abilities of speed and strength, or vision and hearing. The royal Vinstadt siblings - Amelia and twins Vincent and Vera - are among the most gifted, as expected from a royal bloodline. But even the most gifted face horrifying problems. Alliances are fragile during a time of war, and more precious than resources. The three heirs must do whatever is necessary to protect their land, people and kingdom, including forging unexpected, even unwanted, alliances. A shocking connection forms when two worlds collide, forcing Vera to protect more than just her homeland. Forcing her to protect a secret that has been hidden for a millennia. War is messy. Relationships are messier.
