Unbound - (Confluence Academy) by Penelope Bloom (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Students are branded by water, air, earth, or fire. But Nessa's mark is different. A silver spiral--the mark of an unbound. It's a power so dangerous her kind were hunted to extinction centuries ago--or so the Empire claims.

Nessa's greatest threat may be the only other volunteer--Raith Hollow, a powerful fire affinity whose scorching gaze follows her every move and whose secrets could topple kingdoms.

Alliances are forged in blood, enemies circle like vultures, and forbidden desires close in. Death once seemed like release from her tragic past. Now it's not an option. She'll embrace her terrible potential or watch everything she's fought for burn.

At Confluence Academy, students leave as weapons... or they don't leave at all.

About the Author

When not crafting happily-ever-afters or dodging deadline dragons, you'll find them hiking mountain trails, conquering walls at the local climbing gym, or hunting down the perfect pizza slice. They live in Colorado with their two daughters and three furry co-authors (who offer questionable writing advice but excellent moral support).
