In the grip of Elements

At the age of eighteen, every citizen of Doressea faces the Elemental Test, a rite that reveals one's natural affinity for Fire, Water, Earth, or Air and determines their place in society. Aella Stormbringer has dreamed of her destiny her entire life, but when her test arrives, it reveals something unexpected-a unique ability that could mark her as an outcast or even a threat.

Drawn into the realm of Air and the bustling world of Elerest, Aella is welcomed as an Air user, yet she quickly realizes her powers extend far beyond a single element. As she tries to blend in, secrets unravel, and hidden talents emerge, bringing her closer to forbidden mysteries, whispers of rebellion, and a bond with her enigmatic instructor, Orion-a connection that could shatter both their lives.

In a world where elemental gifts are everything, Aella must decide: Will she hide her extraordinary abilities to survive, or will she risk it all to embrace who she truly is?

In the Grip of Elements is a tale of power, courage, and the strength it takes to follow your own path in a world determined to shape your fate.
