Surprised by Adrian's sudden disappearance, Ria is determined to find him, even if that means she has to trust her brother and go to her father's party. However, soon she realizes that her father, as the president of the newly-founded Element Preservers Organization, plays a big role in the future of not only magic disease carriers, but also everyone with an element. As the secrets surrounding the magic disease and elements are revealed, Ria doesn't know who she can trust. But when an ex-lover turns into an enemy and a tragic accident changes everything, it’s impossible to just run away.
Genre: JUVENILE FICTION / Fantasy & MagicI blinked, but the scene in front of me didn’t change. Adrian was really gone, and I had no idea what had happened. Fast footsteps echoed down the hallway, but I ignored them, the freezing air numbing more than just my fingers.
“Ria!” I heard Paula’s panicked voice and slowly turned to face her. She glanced at me and then at the room, her hand covering her mouth. “What happened?”
“I don’t know,” I whispered. “Something’s wrong.”
“How did all that ice get here?” Michael came to stand behind me, pulling me into a tight embrace and making me shiver.
“Adrian did this,” I said, my voice shaky. “Something happened to him!”
“You’re saying Adrian did this?” Paula raised an eyebrow at me in surprise. Right, I hadn’t told her, so there was no way she could know about sub-elements. Could I reveal Adrian’s secret just like that, even after I’d been protecting it for a long time? Yes, I could. Yes, if it meant they could help me save him from whoever had taken him. Because I was sure someone had dragged him out of this place by force, or all this ice wouldn’t be here.
“Yes, it’s his element,” I said. “Ice is a sub-element, actually.”
“What?” Paula and Michael said at the same time. I couldn’t see Michael’s face, but I could see surprise, shock, anger, and bewilderment flash across Paula’s beautiful features.
