The Serenader by MarvelPenguin1205

"Cal, we all have secrets." "Even you?" "Even me." **** Like most of her family, Calya Everson is an empath. Born with the gift of Illusion, the power possessed by a select few of the Nobility, she can feel the emotions of others. And as the third in line for the throne with stronger senses than anyone before her, she knows she could pose a threat to the seven regions, to her family, to everyone. That's why, for months, she refused to use it and kept her sixth sense silent. But things are changing, and when the return of her older brother and a meeting of all the rulers forces Cal's hand, she has no choice but to use her gift. And the scary thing is, she doesn't mind. General Atlas, firstborn to the King and dearly departed Queen, the heir to Harmonia, fears Illusion. Born without any special power, the sole exception of his family, the nature of Illusion is a mystery to him. He knows what challenges will await him when he takes his place as King, as the first ever ruler of Harmonia who lacks Illusion. When Cal's Illusion thwarts a planned attack on the castle and everyone in it, both Cal and Atlas are forced to flee from the castle for their safety. By order of the king, they're instructed to flee the palace and find the "safe haven," a small cottage on the edge of two of Harmonia's distinct regions. But as a truth about the Queen resurfaces, Cal and Atlas begin to realize that their little escape mission might hold the key to saving the kingdom - or destroying it.
