To taste, see, and smell emotions were to understand someone completely, and Soriya held that power in her hands. Soriya Luxe is a 19 year old Untainted, a being possessing powers granted to her by the Olden. Her power – to sense emotions – was never meant for violence, let alone war. Yet that is what she finds herself caught up into: the eight years war between Archdale and Nightray, two kingdoms marked by decades of fighting.

This is against everything Soriya has ever believed in, and wants out as soon as possible. Yet when an opportunity does arise, will she take it?
