Fire burns through everything in its path, but yields in the right hands. Water follows the river, bending where the flow bends, curving where the drift curves, but seems to have its own mind. Earth is hard, unyielding-but it can crumble with the slightest touch. Air blows gently, sustaining life, but is a destructive force within its own right. In a world where magic manifests in the forms of Elementals, the world renown Primrose Academy is the only institution in which Elementals are given the training that they need to forge a successful future. In this academy, students from all over the world congregate to learn one thing and one thing only-how to beat each other for the entertainment of others. Elementals are seen as nothing but manual labors, maybe historians and writers, but there is always a sharp distinction between those of human blood and those of Elemental blood. Lana Potentia is an enigma. She showed up out of nowhere and seems to know more about the school and its students than most are comfortable with. What hides behind those amber eyes of hers? Reed Joulin is a champion. He won the most prestigious Elemental competition of the year-the Dancing of the Elements. But at a heavy cost. Cole Wrenger is a pining man. His heart was broken ten years ago, and the only way to numb the pain is to throw himself head-first into his new fate of becoming the number one Elemental of the year. If that's possible. Fiera Flame has her own agenda. Ace her exams and claw her way to one of the top spots of the academy. Then she could escape the festering life she leads and get everything that she deserves. 4 people, 4 minds, 4 personalities, 4 SECRETS. Who will emerge the winner? _______________________________________ ©2015, NevermoreNeverHere (Cover made by @sparksofmadness.)
