The first book of The Chronicles of Eternity series:
Aiden Rivera, prince of Symphony, is starting high school like any other Royal or Rich at Oak Tree Academy. He expects his life to remain uneventful.
Then he meets the mysterious Pegasus-riding girl Calida Albright.
Calida is bold, stubborn, and keeping a secret bigger than Aiden could ever imagine. She possesses a ruby that grants her the power of Fire, and she has spent years making sure no one discovers it. But after being adopted by the Duke and Duchess of Symphony, Garrett and May Hanson, she is forced to attend Oak Tree Academy, where keeping that secret becomes much more difficult.
Unfortunately, on her very first day, her history class takes a field trip to the War History Museum, home to countless historical artifacts. While there, Calida discovers eight different-colored diamonds eerily similar to her ruby: the Eternity Diamonds.
And suddenly, her secret is out.
Calida realizes that her ruby is actually the long-lost Red Eternity Diamond, one of ten Diamonds notorious for choosing worthy masters. But as memories of her forgotten past begin resurfacing, she can't help but wonder: "Am I truly worthy?"
Meanwhile, Aiden learns that out of all ten Eternity Diamonds, the only one powerful enough to counter Calida's is hidden inside the Castle-his lifelong home. If he wants to stop what's coming for them, he'll need to lead his friends into the most heavily guarded place in the kingdom while fighting his own guilty conscience.
Now Aiden, Calida, and their new friends are caught between a rock and a hard place. They have three goals: stay out of police custody, win a centuries-long war between the Diamond Masters and an evil giantess, and solve a mystery that stretches into the galaxy.
