( I am currently rewriting the chapters) In Lyra's world, humans have the ability to control the elements. Many years ago, they used to live in peace, but one group of people decided to rise above everyone else. Their primary goal is to unleash an ancient evil that the world hasn't seen in over a millennium. Lyra Elberos doesn't know where she came from or who her parents are. She was found wrapped in rags, and taken in by a loving family. She has always had normal life until a meeting with a strange man hurls her into a war where she discovers something about herself she didn't know before.

**Only the bonus chapter is paid, the rest of the story is (and will stay) free!!** Libby Marks-Whelan is decidedly not a lady. Kicked out of nearly every finishing school in the country, she's shocked when her demure, straight-laced cousin Ella invites her to the royal court as attendant during her debutante season. What Ella fails to realize, however, is that Libby's brand of mischief is exactly the kind of distraction Prince Andrew is looking for during his inaugural season as an eligible bachelor.
