THE SAGA OF THE GOLDENBORN BEGINS
For decades, the children of the planet Marieux have been told tales of a savior destined to free their world from the clutches of a heartless organization. Military rule, unjust laws, and the recruitment of women to serve their oppressors, they are born into a society steeped in despair. Each passing year makes it less conceivable that the prophecy of the Anointed Daughter of the Marinites will ever come true.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Kalaath has heard this fable since childhood and has rejected it for just as long, despite being accused of being the prophesied Goldenborn savior. With her radiant eyes, luminous skin, and extraordinary instincts, she embodies the traits of the mythical figure. But being different has its price. To keep herself and her birth mother below the radar of the Shadow Realm Allegiance, she practices the age-old art of concealing, a survival method she learned as a child. But when her best friend goes missing, Olivia must decide once and for all what she truly believes-because accepting her reality might be the only way to save the people she loves.
