(First Draft)
Lyra, raised in a noble family, is one of twenty-three other children to manifest elemental spirits and is sent to the monastery to become a guardian of her country. There, she meets a mysterious boy who is not who he seems, finds a hooded figure in her scrying bowl, and struggles to manage the growing power of her spirit which no one else seems to have any problem with.
Dark secrets surrounding the monastery begin to unfold and deals are struck with dark forces outside of her control. Both people she trusts are not who she thinks they are and she must choose who to believe and whose side she truly stands on, her country's or the temple's.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
