When eighteen-year-old Isren Castennali gets chosen for a role she does not want, she does everything she can to avoid it. However, since she is the only one in a castle filled with Esterals who wield elemental magic, she must train and become one of the strongest in her class. Otherwise, she might meet death sooner than she'll like. Magic can be a powerful thing, especially when there may be more to the land of Axcia than Isren knows, and truths she has known her whole life might have just been spun lies. Still, without any information about how her older brother, Soren, died for being in the same castle she must live in, trouble arises, bringing chaos with it. Isren must accept her fate, learn the truth about herself, and battle against her feelings that could overtake her duty to the crown and Eclipse Court. Or just drown in the darkness with the rest of the world. ----- Cover made by me NaNoWriMo 2019 First Posted: 7/17/20 UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY
