Three teens fight the system in this high-stakes high fantasy YA, the first in an epic trilogy inspired by Indian philosophy that's perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and The Inheritance Cycle!
Aina s world is governed by Toranic Law a force that segregates people into upper and lower realms based on the weight of their souls. It s said that if the sinful lower-borns commit themselves to kindness and charity, their souls will lighten and allow them into the peaceful upper realms.
But Aina, one of the few lower-borns to ever ascend, just wants to go back home.
Aina hates the pomp of the upper realms, and she s desperate to reunite with her mother, hoping she s survived the beasts and wars of the lower realms alone. After trying, and failing, to weigh down her soul with petty crimes, Aina joins a rebel group bringing aid to the unfortunare those ignored by the authorities and condemned, from birth, to a life of suffering under the Toranic system. Alongsid e Aina are two other new recruits: Meizan, a rough fighter hoping to save his clan, and Aranel, a spoiled noble sent by the powers that be as a spy.
Before long, the rebels find themselves in the middle of a brewing war: On one side, a violent king is bent on destroying Toranic Law; on the other, the authorities of the upper realms will do anything to stay on top. Now the young rebels must face both sides head-on if they want to stop a conflict that could break not only Toranic Law but the universe itself.

One of Elle Magazine's Best Fantasy and Sci-Fi Books of 2024, So Far
"Epic battles, a distinctive magic system, and moral ambiguity will engage fantasy readers seeking a new high-stakes adventure. . . . An exhilarating series opener." Kirkus, starred review
"Vora s trilogy opener is sprawling, energetic, and complex, featuring memorable characters, dynamic magical feats, and bizarre monsters. . . . A wholly original and engaging adventure." Publishers Weekly
"This action-packed epic fantasy immerses readers from prologue to finish. . . . Readers will love being immersed in the beautiful worldbuilding Vora has successfully created, but will also begin to question the characters, their actions, and a society adhering to laws that may not be best for all. Fans of Ursula K. Le Guin s Earthsea, Madeleine L Engle s A Wrinkle in Time, and Alison Goodman s Eon and Eona will be captivated by this new world. VERDICT: A must-have." School Library Journal
