An engrossing fantasy about the descendants of Atlantis, and the one girl who could save or destroy them all.
Tabitha has perfected the art of invisibility. Nondescript
clothes, no friends to speak of, good grades — but not so good that she
would stand out. After graduation she is going to pack up her junkyard
car, pocket the wad of cash she'd earned over the years, and disappear.
It's not because she isn't happy. Far from it — she loves her family, doesn't
mind Las Vegas (despite the inherent issues that come with pale skin and a desert climate), and would actually like to go to college. But it
would be too dangerous for her to stay. Because Tabitha isn't normal.
She's a Dewing, part of a superhuman species descending from the
original inhabitants of Atlantis. The Dewing grow up and attend college, but they don’t grow old and they have special abilities that allow them to erase memories, see the future, and more.
Tabitha’s senior
year quickly becomes a mess of complicated when she literally runs into a new student, Brice. There's something different about him. Special. And it shouldn't be a huge surprise when she discovers that he is a Dewing
as well. And that the entire Dewing community is looking for her. They
believe that she is the key in a centuries old war between two factions
of the Dewing society — a war that forces Tabitha to choose between her
human world and the Dewing community.
