Kalanna Skelarx: Retribution (Tome 1)

Nineteen-year-old Kalanna is from the small town of Ber, in the grand kingdom of Maleen. Already she has accomplished more than anyone in her town by being accepted into the prestigious Academy in the City of Splendors, Yenoa. Even more, she has an innate ability to manipulate the elements through the Mystical Arts. An honorable life of serving King Mordekai and Queen Nadanya with rewards of fame and wealth seems to be hers.

But, as she quickly learns, there is a darker path that leads to magnificent rewards of ultimate power and everlasting glory-and a man who will do anything to lead her there. Will she listen to her heart's beckoning-no matter the consequences, or will she mistakenly leave the decision up to others?
