"You are obviously not in your respective buildings, this is because this year things will be a little different, welcome to the Balance."
In a world where three kingdoms worship three different gods, with three very different ideals. The kingdom of Soladach, values strength and bravery, the brawns. The Kingdom of Deas, values beauty. The kingdom of Kialmar, values wisdom and intelligence, the brains. In an unlikely alliance brains and brawns work together, because little Deas is not so little anymore.
Adara Cliste, Princess of Kialmar, has been raised to be perfect; the blueprint of what a brain should be, even if it is all fake. She has never been particularly excited to attend the Nexus, but at least she has Atlas, right? When she arrives to the Nexus what she finds is not what she had anticipated, with an unknown war raging around them Adara is forced adapt at every turn. Not everything can be found in books, while learning to live in this world, she finds a lot of things hang in the balance.
She is a Cliste, she will not falter.
(This story is an interconnected standalone that I wrote with a friend. If you want to read her story reach out to me, hers follows Cahira, a really prominent character in this story, as she adapts and grows but from a brawns pov. Keep in mind that it is still in the throws of being edited and is still being written. Constructive criticism is appreciated and please point out any plot holes that you notice. :) )
