From The Dark (The Reckoning)

By Stephanie Lord

In a kingdom divided by Elemental powers, Freya Sarrelis has perfected the art of avoiding hers. She keeps her head down, her brother safe, and the whispers locked away.

When the fate tied to Freya's birth is revealed, the lost weapon that sparked the last conflict also resurfaces, now pursued by not only the savage Genesis Council but those who hope to usurp the power themselves.

Seeking the truth her parents left behind, Freya enrolls at Tryst Academy - where the kingdom's top candidates train to become Researchers, Healers, and the coveted Protectors. But when she triggers the suppressed magic inside to awaken, her inner shields wear down and her dark side emerges.

As the clock ticks down, she struggles to remain undetected by the merciless Water heir with a generations-long hatred for her family, and keep Aiden, the handsome Fire, from discovering her true motives.

A brewing storm of prophecy and betrayal reignites the conflict that once shattered the kingdom. As Freya races to find the weapon before war erupts again, her grip on the Darkness slips day by day. It won't be long before the whispers turn into shouts, and the shadows she's contained finally swallow her whole.
