A blood fever ran rampant through the nation of Kenettra,
killing all of the adults who contracted it.
Although some children were spared death, several were left physically
disfigured, changing hair color and leaving discolored scars on their
skin. It also changed some of the
children so that they had special powers, to create fire, control winds, even
control people’s feelings. People call
the ones with special powers the Young Elites, but no one knows their real
identities. Adelina is one of the
unfortunate children left scarred. She
is missing an eye but, until she is 16 and finds out that her father is planning
to force her to be the mistress of a man willing to pay her father a lot of
money, shows no other signs of any powers.
That night, Adelina runs away, and when her father chases her, she uses
her power of illusion to cause his death.
Charged with his murder and sentenced to death, Adelina is rescued by
the other Young Elites in the nick of time.
Asked to join them only if her talent proves to be strong and she proves
she can control it, Adelina is also approached by Teren, the leader of the
Inquisition, who is dertermined to stop the Young Elites. Teren is holding Adelina’s sister hostage
and if Adelina refuses to help him, he will hurt her sister. Adelina must choose, betray her sister, or
the Young Elites? This is a really good
start to a new fantasy series that a lot of teens would like.
