The shadow of a past life, a forgotten war, and an ancient demon are about to collide in a spectacular showdown for one teenage girl. Aria, a young girl with the soul of an ancient warrior, has just defeated a corrupted ancestor, but the victory was a warmup act for the real threat: Xylos, a demon her great-grandmother, Tanyaradzwa, failed to destroy decades ago. Now, Xylos has found a way to re-enter the world through the unlikeliest of places-a viral dance challenge called the Kotama Sway.
As teenagers across the city fall prey to the mesmerizing, demon-fueled dance, becoming hollow-eyed puppets for Xylos's resurrection, Aria must race against a ticking clock to stop the ritual before a blood moon rises and opens the door for the demon to consume the world. With her former bully and newfound ally, Morgan, who is the reincarnation of her great-grandmother's sister, and her artist friend, Wes, a seer who can sketch future events, Aria must master her inherited powers of fire, wind, and earth to fight a battle that will determine the fate of humanity.
