Marie Aleksandr has trained nearly all of her seventeen years in order to score a superior on Chrome Kingdom Academy’s test of elemental aptitude—a test that will define the rest of her life. She can shatter glass without touching it, a feat none of her fellow students have accomplished, but she hasn’t specialized as a Tangible or Intangible, a fact that could fail her. But just when she’s prepared to give the test her all, a monster collides with her future goals and throws her off course. She’s no master, certainly not, but she’s nothing to be toyed with, and she could have overpowered him were he anything except a Dead One. The fight ends once his hand is around her throat. A breath that should have been her last. She then faces a new test—a test that could make her more than a Tangible, more than an Intangible, more than a master, and less than human. She must endure training to withstand the often fatal transition into becoming a Dead One, like himself. If she survives, no one will ever again stand a chance against her in a battle of the elements. All that she must sacrifice is her humanity. ♦ Updates Wednesdays ♦ - Make sure to read "A Web of Steam and Puppet Strings", the companion series! - [Copyright © 2011 Sarah Godfrey] (Also, check out the super sweet swag store where you can get original art on fancy things like mugs and bags and shirts: http://www.redbubble.com/people/sandv)
