Chosen Guardian

In an emotionless world, tears are a precious commodity, valued for their magic and sold on the black market. When Ambry obtains a vial of enchanted tears, it paints a target. The ruthless Arcaian soldiers, who are using tears to steal magic and enslave an entire nation, are now after her. She can't defend herself against an army. Her only chance of survival is aligning herself with a rogue soldier, but even he has heavily guarded secrets that keep them both in danger. With Talon's wavering allegiance, there's no one she can trust. The tears have chosen Ambry as their guardian, and she must keep them from falling into the wrong hands. If she fails, her people--and their magic--will be enslaved to the Arcaians forever.
