In the land of KiTai, becoming a warrior is the greatest honor. For LjuBa, the youngest daughter of the king's captain of the guard, it is her greatest hope. However, she was born with a weak heart and most people just want her to take it easy, except for her father who wishes for her to fulfill her dream. But when her father's pathetic squire, Ljev, returns from a quest to find the delinquent prince with the news that her father had been captured by bandits, she grabs this chance to prove herself--discovering even more important events afoot in the neighboring land.
The city of Andu seems like a peaceful place on the border between Dasain and Baracus but events were about to unfold that no one expects. The country of Baracus has an emperor on the throne that is out for world domination using magic users as slaves to achieve his purpose. The battle for power begins here..in Andu
There are legends told throughout each of the four villages about a humble man named Frederick and how he fell head over heels in love for a woman made from the sun. When she dissolved back into a ray of sunlight, Frederick's tears of grief mingled with the sunlight and formed the Glimmer Pool. As tradition, each of the four villages decided to sacrifice one child to the Glimmer Pool. Children who did not drown in the bottomless pool would float to the surface and were immediately abandoned by the families who had raised them.These outcasted children are referred to as Children of the Glimmer Pool and are usually just as forgotten and disregarded as ever, but when Frederick's sacred ring goes missing, all fingers point to these seemingly deathless children. Iris, Nova, Farren, Maritza, Vanessa, and many more come together in an effort to search for Frederick's ring and to set things right.
"Wizards in big cities who wear skinny jeans and flannel. Who make pencils out of their wands so they can hide them in plain sight...who keep cats in their pet free apartments by transfiguring them whenever stops in...Urban. Wizards." Or Anjo, 22 years old and wizard in training, gets invited by his Grandmother Juliette to stay with her over the summer because weekends and skype can only do so much in teaching him the art of magic. Everything would be great, if only Juliette wouldn't have other students. Or one other student in particular. Ramon, who is always challenging Anjo and looking stupidly handsome and gets on his nerves. So yeah, everything would be great, if it weren't for Ramon. (And if Anjos cat Kater would stop throwing up hair balls to annoy him, that would be nice too)
I was making my way to the purses when I noticed something. I glanced out the window. I haven’t noticed it before, but whenever I turned a corner, it was there. His back was turned, and I could see gold curls coming out of his hat. I could just barely make out his jawline, where it was set determinedly, like he was waiting for something. As soon as I looked at him, something set itself off in me. It was subtle, but I felt it navigate towards him. As soon as I figured it out, I knew it was warning me.
