Once, I never thought anything would ever change in this boring town.
Now I know better, and I only wished it was true...
Avery Skylark... a simple, smart, unique, pretty, misunderstood 13 year old, used to think of her town, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then she encounters strange and mysterious Albus Dumbledore, who reveals a secret that had been hidden in plain sight all along. And that was when impossible, magical, life changing things happen.
Sometimes life-ending.
''I breathed. This was too much. Was it a joke? My eyesight was getting blurry. If this was a joke, then why was I crying?''
"It all started when I turned twelve. Up until then, I was near enough a normal kid. Despite my unusual name, Eli, I fit in pretty well in normal life in London..."
Until they came.
Without warning, I'm taken from my home and my family on my birthday, to a place that's 'safe' for kids like me. Kids with special abilities. I am one of the six in the ever changing group of kids that posses the powers over the elements... and I'm destined to die when I reach eighteen. With a traitor in our midst, life at the secluded castle that's our home becomes even harder. Can me and some of my newly found friends find a cure for our affliction, and the traitor, or will it be too late for one of us?
When the life you know ends in six years, you begin to appreciate every second.
