Sayah is anything but your average elf; she is a Marked One, blessed with gifted powers alongside her twin, Ornella. The villagers around her may dislike her, but that does not stop her from enjoying an occasional visit to the local baker for a delectable pastry or her routine mug of hot tea in the morning. The sister's rite-of-passage ceremony is upon them, as it has been three-hundred-and-twenty-five moons since their creation. Every elf has its place in society, and Sayah has her fingers crossed to take over Mãe's hard-earned business: the village's music academy. Playing the grand piano is her main escape from the dreary world surrounding her.
On the day of their much-anticipated ceremony, she discovers several truths that lead to more unanswered questions. The magic that encompasses their world is more complex than once imagined, and those in authority have shrouded the two sisters in a veil of deceit, for power is coveted more than all the treasures inside the five kingdoms, as greed and desire easily corrupt souls.
Sayah will be forced to use the rare power flowing inside her veins, regardless of how the elders and priests have warned her that siphoning energy goes against the ways of Elven-kind.
If you are the type of reader who enjoys a mixture of cozy feelings and nature-influenced magic alongside a dash of despair, then I can guarantee you are in for a real treat.
