The Fall came four years ago. An asteroid, a flash of unknown power, and a scattering of ordinary people who woke up bending fire, water, wind — even worse — to their will. Most got one element, if they got anything at all. Isuko Katsumi got nine. By day, he's an unremarkable second-year at Minabe High. By night, he's the reason a few more people make it home safe — clumsy, alone, and bound by one promise his father left behind: the strong don't get to choose whether they help. Then he finds people like him. A team. Something close to family. It won't stay that way. Something is coming for Isuko Katsumi — and when it arrives, the boy who spent his whole life protecting the weak may become the one thing this world can never protect itself from.
