About the book:

Twenty-four year old Aurora Blackwater lives a rather ordinary life. She spends her days helping her aunt run their village's only apothecary, but there's more to her than what meets the eye. She's a multiwielder: a rare human who wields more than just one of the seven abilities. Which makes her someone, according to the law, who is to be collected for the King's Army.

When her secret is discovered, she meets a fate some would consider an honor. But the abduction she endures is, to her and many others, one worse than death. As she struggles to cope with her newfound capture, she meets those of similar destinies along the way. Little does she know how much these people may influence the outcome of her story.

In training for the King's Army, she discovers who she can trust, and who only abides by the orders of the king. When the heir to the throne, the one and only Prince of Orellia, enters her proximity, tensions rise, as do the stakes. While friendships are formed and secrets are revealed, Aurora learns the wicked King Kairos may be even worse than she thought. And she soon comes face to face with challenges that will not only test her, but possibly change the fate of the kingdom as she knows it.
