Shadows of Hiraeth

Cassiopeia "Cassie" Quinn is a 16 year old girl living in the town of Rame. In a world where people with magic are admired, her and her town fear them. Its unnatural, humans should not be able to do any of that. Now that she is 16, she is required to participate in The Forge, a bootcamp to ensure everyone is strong enough to fight, defend, and be a helpful member of the town. While there, she discovers she can control shadows. She is a Veilborn, someone blessed (or cursed) with an innate ability. She does her best to hide these powers for fear of herself and the possibility of being sent to Hiraeth Academy. Hiraeth is an academy where little is known. Once someone is sent there, they are never seen again. But is Hiraeth as bad as it seems?
