"Pénélope, tu n'es pas ici par hasard. Tu veux vivre quelque chose, ton cœur brûle, ta tête t'assaille de réflexions, mais tu refuses d'aller plus loin, tu refuses de plonger. Tu restes spectatrice et tu rumines. C'est ça ton grand voyage ? Tu sais, chaque individu a un rôle à jouer. Chaque personne peut utiliser la force de son esprit pour devenir acteur de son existence et du monde qui l'entoure. Ensemble, à force de réflexions et d'actions, nous ferons de ces ruines un palais." Ceci est une odyssée. Un périple au cœur de nos doutes, de nos errances, de nos tempêtes.

Hawken Trent. So polite. So sweet. Such an upstanding young man. A virgin, too, I hear. He never gets naughty with a girl. Probably because Jesus told him not to.

Students are branded by affinity: water, air, earth, or fire. But Nessa's mark is different. A silver spiral—the mark of an unbound. It's a power so dangerous her kind were hunted to extinction centuries ago—or so the Empire claims.

Nessa's greatest threat may be the only other volunteer—Raith Hollow, a powerful fire affinity whose scorching gaze follows her every move and whose secrets could topple kingdoms.

Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did.

Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.
