Jessa has one dream - to be a prima ballerina.  She also has one secret... a big one.  She is a colour alchemist.  In New Colony, Color Alchemists are taken from their families very young and trained in the Royal Palace as Guardians of Color.  Their Magic keeps the Kingdom safe and prosperous.

Jessa is swept into a violent and secretive world where she questions all that she was taught at school and struggles to control her magic. 

She befriends Prince Lucas who has a secret or two of his own.  His mother is ill and the healing magic is not working, so he sets out to discover what is going on.  He does not trust his father the King and together he and Jessa embark on a treacherous and dangerous mission to save the Kingdom and those they love.

For those who loved Matched and the Lunar Chronicles, this is a must-read.  I could not put it down and finished the complete series in a weekend.  There are plot twists and secrets that make the story riveting and intriguing.

A must-read for lovers of good YA novels.  This was a jewel among the free kindle books on Amazon.

Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilli...
