Soulbound

In the land of Tril there are Barrons, Healers and the Unskilled.

Barrons are the fighters; Healers are bound to the Barrons, following them into battle to use their powers to heal them when they are injured. The Unskilled are considered nobodies. To Barrons they might as well not even exist.

For years King Darrek and his army of Graplars (dinosaur like monsters) have been waging war on the Barrons hoping to kill them all so he can have complete power.

Protocol is a very important part of the Barron-Healer relationship. A protocol that no one has ever questioned until Kaya is sent to the Shadow Academy boarding school to learn the skills she needs to be a Healer.

For Kaya protocol seems wrong. Why should Healers be sent out to battle with their soulbound Barrons when they have not received any instruction in the art of fighting? Kaya’s desire to fight is so strong she is willing to break protocol to learn. But she has to find someone who is willing to teach her. Her choices are between Trayton, the Barron she is bound to or Darius the head fighting instructor at the academy who also has a very mysterious past and seems to hate Kaya.

Trayton says no but Darius agrees to teach her in secret. What Kaya does not foresee is that her relationship with Darius will reveal secrets that he has kept hidden for a long time and the more they spend time together she realizes that maybe she feels more for Darius than she had wanted to.

As this love triangle unfolds Graplers are getting inside the academy walls and killing people; walls that have kept the academy safe from the start. More and more Graplers seem to be in the surrounding forest. What is happening? Where are they coming from and how are they getting inside?

Kaya seems to be showing unnatural skills as a fighter. Will she be able to put those skills to use? What happens in the last scenes of this book will leave you anxiously waiting the next book in this series.
