The Colorless Land by Rubyleaf

Far to the north lies a land in black and white. A curse lies upon it, robbing its people of their courage, free will and emotion to lock them in three pendants in the hands of their leaders. Jolette has lived just south of that land for all thirteen years of her life. But never once has she seen one of its people-until the day a Colorless boy turns up in her village, carrying one of his people's most prized possessions: the pendant of Free Will. She quickly becomes his friend, but she has barely had time to get to know him and name him Edmian when the Colorless come for him. By sheer luck she and Edmian escape. But her village, with everyone she knows, is captured and taken to the Colorless Land. Left to their own devices, the two set out to rescue the villagers while outrunning their own pursuers. Aid comes from a secret prince trying to save his own family from the Colorless, as well as his warrior bride. And yet the clock keeps ticking. For the Colorless' magic is slowly destroying the villagers' humanity, and the Colorless People are preparing a war against all the world. What can two teenagers, a hidden royal, a military commander on leave, an old lady spirit, an elf and a dwarf possibly do against a power on the rise? And what about the two married women who were captured without their daughter? But sometimes the smallest individuals can change the course of history... COMPLETED 9-8-2019
