The amount of things you never think about really adds up when you are in a place of no return. And for Lyrin, one fateful night changed everything.
Welcome to Kress, a land filled with prosperity, trouble, magic, and the ones who wield all--Isols. These ability-users are infrequent, many times detested because of their strict advantages in their harsh world, and such is true for 16-year-old Lyrin Solental, a Duchess' daughter who believes the best way to avoid the discrimination is to hide from it all. But after an attempt for her life, she realizes one thing--she won't ever be safe, no matter how much she tries to hide.
Alone, she ventures into the world she'd never explored, finding injustice where she should have seen beauty and corruption where there should have been peace. The people she once helped rule over are suffering, and so is the ground they walk upon. But one single person can't change an entire country, can they?
A story filled with adventure, suspense, hatred, and love. When evil comes, who will be the ones to stand up and fight?
Lauren Strauss never knew much about her family.
With her father dead and her mother's past a fiercely guarded secret, Lauren is forced to admit that her family tree appears to go nowhere. She also hardly knows anything about the strange dreams and headaches which have plagued her since birth.
But when a violent attack rocks downtown Chicago, Lauren's life is thrown into chaos. Armed with a mysterious amulet and thrust into a strange new world, Lauren soon realizes that the truth about her family is more than she ever could have imagined.
Lost in a land beyond her wildest dreams and hunted by a bloodthirsty cult, Lauren must discover the truth about her family... and with it, embrace a destiny she didn't even know she had.
