Three sisters, Sara, Aeryn, and Elva, have been on their own since their parents were killed by the king when Sara was a baby. The reason? They didn't have any special powers in a world filled with gifted individuals. The king believes that the powerless are to blame for the country's poverty and wants them gone. Aeryn dreams of working for the king without knowing that Damon, the king's son, shares the same goal. To join the king's service, they must face a life-or-death trial. Survivors get a chance to join the king's army. Little does Aeryn know that amidst the challenges, she'll find herself falling in love with Damon Carson.
