Atlas: When Air Meets Water

Atlas has always known where he belongs.  In the quiet fishing village of Zourin, life is simple. The sea provides, the people endure, and the world beyond the shoreline feels distant enough to ignore.  Then Atlas discovers he has a sister he never knew existed.  What begins as a search for the truth about his family soon pulls him far from home and into a world shaped by elemental magic, buried secrets, and powers so dangerous they are feared.  But the world beyond Zourin is changing. Natural disasters are growing more violent. A distant war is beginning to spread. Those in authority are willing to sacrifice ordinary lives to protect their own secrets.  As Atlas follows the first real clues about who he is, he must also face the rare ability awakening inside him, one tied to the very air around him. And somewhere beyond it all waits Abrin Academy, the famed school where gifted children are taught to master their powers or lose them forever.  Meanwhile, Eden has been summoned to retrieve her missing brother. Following every clue she can find, she is determined to reach Atlas before it is too late.  Whilst he goes on his travels, one thing becomes clear. Some powers were meant to be sealed away. Others were meant to change the world.
