In a village above the cloud sea, 11-year-old orphan Zhi Ging’s only chance of survival is to become a Silhouette, an apprentice to the immortals.

When she is unexpectedly chosen as the Second Silhouette following a strange dragon attack, she finds herself in an underwater realm, learning new skills and competing in thrilling challenges. But rumours are spreading of a growing dark force, and Silhouettes seem to be disappearing. Zhi Ging begins to realise that there is so much she has yet to learn about the world of the immortals – and herself.

Will Zhi Ging be the one to save her world from the greatest evil it’s ever known?
