Book excerpt: IN A WORLD WHERE WEATHER EXTREMES ARE AS PERSISTENT AS SUNRISE AND SUNSET, YOU FIGHT OR YOU HIDE. Most people in Veerden are born with the ability to tame one of the four elements - fire, air, water, or earth. Without the tamers, humanity would have lost the battle with nature long ago. In her youth, Kyra grew up with peers who were able to deflect wind or make a fire with willpower. She spent years telling herself that she was like them, but insipits like her are naturally barred from the tamer arts and powerless against nature's forces. What use is her sword against strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning strikes? When a storm comes, twenty-year-old Kyra has to hide inside with the children. But how much longer can she do that when all she wants to do is fight?
