Ayden didn't do parties, yet here she was going to one. Millie looked amazing, and they were all about to have an amazing night. It didn't take long for that to change. 

Training with Millie went surprisingly well, but today Ayden trained with Dani. How was she supposed to be normal with Dani after the other night?

Training was here. Too much information was swirling in Ayden to understand. She had to make the choice. Either give up and run, or face this and go all in. It would be easier to run, but then again, she would never get answers if she did. It was time. She was ready to go all in in Orenda.

It was inevitable. Alyssa and Ken's funeral was here. Not only was Ayden feeling the emotions of losing her parents, but what Dani had to say rocked her world even more.

The Kingdom of Nuzar. Was Ayden finally going to get some answers?

Orenda. What is this place? Ayden feels overwhelmed, rightfully so. She had no one now. Her parents and world are gone. Feeling alone, how is Ayden supposed to manage this all?

What just happened, and where exactly is Dani taking Ayden? Her world is spinning around her. How on Earth is she supposed to keep it together?

As Ayden nears her birthday, things get even more crazy for her. Dani is everywhere and her parents are acting strange. When the clock strikes for her to turn eighteen, a birthday that should be met with parties and happiness, her night turns to fear and pain. Nothing makes sense. Who is she?

The balance of light and dark is fading. Join me as we dive deep in the world of magic as we meet Ayden Castillo. She's a simple senior in high school just trying to get by. So, why does her world seem to flip when the most popular girl in school wants to be her friend just a week before graduation?
