Steel Lily (The Periodic Series)
by Megan Curd
AVERY PIKE is a commodity. No, more than a
commodity. Her existence is guarded at all costs.
She’s a water
Elementalist, the strongest of her dwindling kind. She creates steam to provide
energy to fuel Dome Four: the only thing standing between humanity and an earth
ravaged by World War III. No steam, no Dome. No Dome, no life.
Or so she thinks.
That is, until a
mysterious man offers her a way out of having to donate steam. A way to escape
the corrupt government of Dome Four. While the offer seems too good to be true,
Avery is intrigued.
But when she
arrives to her new home, she realizes the grass isn’t any less dead on this side
of the fence. Instead, the lies are just hidden better.
…Which means
digging deeper.
When Avery enlists
the help of her friends to uncover the truth, she learns that while some
secrets are better left concealed, humankind was never meant to live in a cage.
And when you can control the most sought after resource, you can learn to
control anything…including the fate of your world.
