Release Date: November 13th 2015
Summary
from Goodreads
The living crystals that feed
elemental power to Atlantis are exhausted. They give and give, but the
Altantians just want more energy to fuel their magical city. Sixteen years ago,
the crystals came up with a plan to make it all stop, a plan that revolves around
three teens:
KALIOPE is a soulsinger, an empath
with the power to sing the souls of the dead to their next lives. She just
wants to grow up, but her mother won't let her.
DANICA is Kaliope's whipping girl.
She gets punished whenever Kali disobeys.
CHIARAN is a firestarter, so
reckless even his family considers him a monster.
When Chiaran arrives in Atlantis,
he's the first fire person to set foot on the island in a hundred years.
Kaliope naturally considers him an enemy and uses the last of her depleted
power against him. But the battle reveals that the two have more in common than
anyone could have guessed.
Anyone, that is, except the
crystals.
Three teenage antiheroes, a
bisexual love triangle, and an island about to sink.
Overwhelm is a darkly sensual fairy
tale about growing up against all odds.
