~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

On the planet known as Methoria, people known as Methorians all had the ability to control a single element, be it one of the main elements(Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Mind) or the sub-elements (Metal, Ice, Lightning). They are otherwise, known as elementals. Over half a century ago, there was a war between Darkness and Elementals. The darkness were consisted of shadows, who were unlike normal elementals, and were said to be evils me wanting to wipe out the whole race of elementals. About 500 years ago, a dark and evil shadow, known as The Ruler had been able to control and led the shadows to war. Fortunately, with the help of The Five, five people who were the most powerful of their elements each one with one of the main elements, had been able to conquer The Ruler and sent him to a deep slumber. It is said that The Ruler would awake one day once again, attempting to take over Methoria once again. That would be when a new generation of The Five would take the roles of the previous Five and save the planet from destruction. It has been 500 years since there was a war. All has been peaceful in Methoria for the past half a century... A fourteen year old girl, Ember, has been accepted to Elemental Academy, where students will discover their element and learn how to control them. This would be Ember's first year in Elemental Academy, where she would learn much more about her element, or should it be her elements. *Do note that this book is being rewritten and published as "Vanishing" under my profile!
