Publisher's Synopsis
Exploding soap bubbles, thousands of misshapen tea cups, and still too many stairs. Welcome to the mysteries of the Alem world. As Anne Robertson comes to learn how to control her newfound powers, she finds herself more and more overwhelmed by weird gods, strange abilities, and marvelous landscapes. Thrown into a life she's not even sure she wants, Anne tries desperately to fit in and hopes that with time she will master her newfound gifts. Unfortunately for her, a god named Trusde will break free from a centuries old imprisonment to unleash despair and destruction on everyone she has ever known. Trusde has already captured her father and now Anne, the most unlikely of heroes, and her new friends must find a way to rescue her dad and save the world from Trusde's plan.
