Burst (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578645933)

In a world where everyone has incredible Elemental abilities, from shooting fire to making plants grow, Pasin is remarkable in that she... can't. Labeled an "Absent" and raised in an orphanage, Pasin's life has been defined by this lack--lack of abilities, lack of parents, lack of support. The only escape she finds is through her writing. Her life changes on her sixteenth birthday when she is arrested in the marketplace, accused of disturbing the peace and causing bodily harm to bystanders, all after an altercation she cannot remember. Swept to the palace, Pasin is made a lady of the court and no one will tell her why--not Erise, the half-elf sword handler instrumental to Pasin's situation, nor Oramus, the king. Pasin is told not to ask questions. Why would she? Her life is so much better in Oramus's palace. And he seems to be taking an interest in her....She is given everything she could ever want--except answers. Join Pasin on her quest for meaning and answers where secrets, power, and adventure combine in this YA Elemental Fantasy novel. Advance Praise for Burst: "Daria has crafted a vibrant coming-of-age tale. In a wondrous, magical, world full of secrets, Pasin must do the hardest thing imaginable - discover herself." -Trond E. Hildahl, editor and publisher of the Scribes Divided Anthologies
