One world. Broken into twelve kingdoms, each house a ruler with exactly 12 ascendants in each. The Vercelli Houses children have always been divided, but when a new rule comes along that a heir is no longer chosen by eldest birth but by ranking in a series of mind melting trials the now-grown children are ready to fight for power. Even if it means killing their own.
For some it's easier than others.

Forbidden Union
Veloria is a realm divided into four elemental Kingdoms: Sea, Wind, Terra, and Ash. Ancient law forbids romantic relations between different Kingdoms, as any child born with more than one elemental power is seen as a threat to the delicate balance of power. This law, established centuries ago by the rulers of all four Kingdoms, is enforced with ruthless precision. Any child of mixed blood, along with the parents who bore them, is executed. But now, the King of Ash seeks to ignite the world in his fury. With his deadly and forbidden plan, he seeks to claim Veloria for his own, threatening to consume the traditions and freedom of the other elemental kingdoms. To stand against him, the kingdoms send their strongest-those born of perfect lineage, trained from birth to embody their element's purest form. Known as "purebloods", their mission is to stop the King of Ash before his flame consumes all. Yet lurking in the shadows is the King of Ash's most feared assassin, determined to ensure that no one stands in the way of his master's reign.Complete

With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.Complete
