Ariella's special talent is her most feared curse, and her darkest secret. Only a small number of Ariella's closest friend know her secret, because her secret could get people killed. Ariella doesn't know it yet, but soon she will find out that there is nothing in her world that will stop her from protecting the people she loves...not even her secret.
(What I have posted here is the first draft of what I have written so far. Mostly I am looking for some creative criticism. I am going to add my own illustrations, but until then I have borrowed some images of what I am imagining to illustrate the most important point in each of the chapters. I will also illustrate my own cover, when I get the chance to. I do plan on extending each chapter, adding more detail and more pertinent information as well. Let me know what you think!)

After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process.

Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested.
