Synopsis

She's spent her life being what her parents shaped her to be. Escaping their lies unleashes everything she could become.

Every family has secrets, and when Natalie's parents vanish after a mysterious explosion, she’s certain hers are deeper than most. Her home destroyed, Natalie escapes, taking with her the only things she trusts: her devoted dog Enzi, her four best friends, and a stubborn need for answers.

Desperate, they take refuge with Natalie’s estranged uncle, and he tells her everything she never wanted to know. Her parents built her life to hide that she can do the impossible.

The first time Natalie steps into the ocean and emerges a thousand miles away, she has no idea she’s become a target. While she hopes teleporting through seawater will help her find her family, every crossing leaves a trail. Searching turns to running as she’s hunted by Nautilus: a secret order that claims to safeguard humanity’s future.

Yet as Nautilus closes in, her uncle’s motives are thrown into question. Trusting no one, Natalie will have to outsmart those hunting her before her friends pay the price. Harder still, she’ll have to learn to trust the stranger she’s becoming. But Natalie will never stop digging for the truth.

Even if it drowns her.

An edge-of-your-seat trilogy perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer and Lynette Noni. Pulse-pounding action, endless banter, and a tangle of secrets will keep you reading long past midnight.
