It is at this point we believe an individual has proven themselves worthy to be a part of our great society. Failure to uphold proper behavior is still not without consequence. Year 13 was a struggle for me, finding my way on the streets, all alone. My life was constantly changing, my beliefs and ideologies a blur. I no longer knew where I stood. I had started to hear whisperings of a revolution, of people who wanted to make a change. People who aspired to be rid of the Government. Year 13 didn't feel any different than all the other Years. Year 17 though, brought about change, long-awaited and necessary change, not only for myself but for others. Year 12: Abandonment for Felisha Martins, date of birth November 19th, 2509, the current number of Years in Abandonment, 11. Year 18 was a long-awaited goal. Year 18 was meant to free me, liberate me. I was going to make that happen.

Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural.
