The Guidal: Discovering Puracordis
The Guidal Book 1
by Roxy Eloise
Genre: YA Dystopian Fantasy
In a future where the mention of magic is banned, one paranoid man rules the entire country.
Adopting children to become his private bodyguards, they are raised together in a strict institute where sixteen-year-old Aurora struggles to follow the rules. Finding herself disciplined often, she doesn’t particularly like her endless life of servitude.
Soon,
she will have to take part in the institute’s annual Unity ceremony
where she could end up engaged to a complete stranger!
Aurora’s
fears of being different are realised when she discovers something
about herself, something which will make most fear her, and her
adoptive father will want her killed for.
Friends,
bullies, and a touch of something magical, Aurora’s first year in
the grown-ups’ quarter is far from ordinary.
