A world of magic. A secret she can't escape. Can she embrace her destiny or will her power consume her? In the Kingdom of Astalia, there are the Ethereals, the ones blessed by the Gods, the powerful. Then there are the Untouched, the humans, the powerless. Having powers isn’t always a blessing, for in so many ways, it can be a curse. Seventeen-year-old Skylar Roberts believed she was Untouched and nothing more, hidden in the shadows of the Ethereals. That is until a sudden and unwanted power is unlocked inside her, and she discovers a whole other world she never knew existed. Her ability is unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unlike anything she’s ever seen - and it seems to have a mind of its own. As she struggles to conceal her secret, she’s forced to train with her fiery opponent - someone who doesn’t know who she really is or what she’s hiding. What began as a rivalry sparks into something more complicated and far more dangerous. But her magic is no accident. The more Skylar uncovers, the more she learns that her gifts are woven into a long and ancient history, buried lies and a destiny she never asked for or knew existed. Secrets can weigh on the one keeping them, and rivalries can burn into something beyond control, but sometimes the fiercest battles are the ones fought in the heart. How far can a hero be pushed until it’s too far
