Hall of Masters

The magical gift of sensing the emotions of those around her was normal to Diana. Living in a forest hidden beneath the sea with only her mother and grandfather for company, she never questioned the ability. But when she starts having violent visions and spirits of dead ancestors start yelling at her, that gift threatens her sanity just as it drove others mad. She escapes to the land above, to live with her father in a land torn by war and superstition.


There she finds true loneliness. Her father’s rejection is only the beginning, for he has sworn to destroy everything that even hints of supernatural. Her empathetic gift becomes her curse and a deadly secret. Trapped and desperate, she barricades herself behind silence, but cannot lock out the chaos of emotions as easily. Her brother becomes her only ally, but when she saves his life with an explosion of enchanted flames, she dooms her own. Now hunted, she learns of plans to attack her underwater home. She cannot protect it, or save her mother and grandfather on her own. She must choose whom to trust: those out to destroy magic, or those eager to re-awaken the old magics that nearly destroyed the land once already.
