The Construction of Shadows - Paperback

by Dakota Jackson (Author)

In a world where 74% of the population possesses unique abilities passed down by the 16 Divinities of the Sun and Moon, it takes a miracle to stand out...

Or a disaster.

Meiling Katz is a nobody. With no Divine blood and a mysterious illness that's plagued her since the Lunar Eclipse Massacre killed her parents thirteen years ago, she's powerless. Nevertheless, Meiling is determined to attend the prestigious Zialitos Academy for Sun-Gifted Children and rise in the ranks of their country's lawmakers.

Suraya Zialitos is a living legend. As the heir to the most powerful lineage in the world-those descended from Ataru, Divinity of the Sun-Suraya is destined for greatness. But Suraya does not want greatness, she wants revenge for her family slaughtered by the notorious Miyako family in the Massacre.

When the childhood best friends arrive at the Academy only to find a string of terrorist attacks linked to the Miyakos, their initial plans go up in flames. With their friendship unraveling and the country in terror, they realize there's only one way to solve this: together.
