Unbound

By Kara D. Wilson

The infamous and filthy Drayburns Harbor was always home to thirteen-year-old Kellick Fisk. Raised as a fishmonger's son, Kell grew up on the seas butchering fish, scaling outrigging, and running the docks, all the while hiding her female identity. But the abrupt onset of puberty thrusts her into a life-altering discovery. Kell is a User, a hated minority who can conjure and control fire. ***Betrayed by his best friend and arrested for a crime he didn't commit, fourteen-year-old Simon Ashway is traded to the Ludas Magnus School of Munera Games, where he starts training to participate in future gladiatorial events under the instruction of a cruel Lanista. While he learns to fight and kill Users in the most brutal of ways, he struggles to process the betrayal that set him on such a bloody path. ***With the nation of Berceau on the brink of collapse, insurrectionists at its gates, and the monarchy in disarray, Kell and Simon meet once again-in the arena. Set in a time both familiar and foreign, Unbound explores the complexities of trust and the effects of trauma on relationships in a world of Users, Viterra, and unspeakable evil.
