Jewl and the Jinx

As a princess in the Patriarchal Realm of en'Edlia, Jewl has grown up
close to her twin sister, Phyre. Born to a royal mother from nonmagical
Earth and a high patriarch father now ruling on magical Irth,
Jewl has inherited a birth-gift of magical power. Even though her twin has no
magic, Jewl feels her birth-gift is worthless.
Desperately wanting to have friends with birth-gifts, Jewl ventures into the
Shards-a dark, foreboding part of the city-and, with her new friends, begins a
journey she is soon desperate to abandon. Jewl is caught in a snare of dark magic
and tangled in a plot to kill someone in the ruling family-her family! Feeling
threatened and afraid, Jewl must find a way to stop a deadly jinx before someone
dies. Can she find anyone she can trust to help her before her involvement is
discovered?
