If I was a fly, I certainly would not be hanging around the big giants that continuously swatted at me and obviously wanted me dead. Flies only have hours to live, so why do they insist on hanging around me and bugging the padoodle out of me? I would be doing something a lot more fun with my life, maybe see as much of the world as I could. They fly by my face, land on my food, swoop right by my ear, and I am swinging and screaming at them the whole time. Don’t think for a second though that I am not killing them with the skill of a ninja. I am quick like that. I am amazingly fast. It’s about as weird to see as an elephant swimming. You don’t really expect it, but are awed when you see that it is true. Anyway, the weather has brought in a fresh batch of those pesky things and now I am certainly getting in enough cardio daily. Another reason to hate flies….cardio.

Her gift is her curse. Her world is her prison. Her fate is bigger than she knows… In the hot and harsh farming region of Agricola, 16 year old Cyra prepares to be tested to discover what duty she’ll hold for life. All school leavers across the regions are in the same position, and few expect anything more than to follow in their parents’ footsteps and stay in the region they live in. For Cyra, there was never a choice. With her father dead and brother and sister assigned elsewhere, she’s desperate to stay close to her sick mother so she can take care of her. On the day of the Duty Call, however, Cyra’s world turns upside down in one stroke. She’s to be assigned to Eden, the largest and most powerful sea city and central hub of control. Only the most important live there, and no one from Cyra’s town has ever been assigned there in her lifetime. So, she sets off on a journey away from everything she knows, without knowing what her duty will be. Soon, she discovers that she, along with a small number of school leavers from across the regions, has a special power; a gift that will pit her as a secret protector of the nation. Only, it’s not a gift, it’s really a curse, and before long Cyra will learn that her once small world is filled with a great deal more corruption and injustice than she ever thought possible.

The castle, a grand sprawling structure located on a tiny island off of the coast, was supposed to be the crown jewel of the park but for some unknown reason it has been declared off-limits to the general public since the park opened. With access to the castle limited to only a few chosen guests, rumors have been running rampant around town. Most of the townsfolks blame the supposed ghost that haunts the island for keeping the castle doors closed. Kat, however, suspects that there is a far more rational explanation and is determined to get an exclusive invitation into the castle in order to investigate. But when Madison Hatter, one of the park’s owners, is murdered by what appears to be a ghost, Kat starts to wonder if the castle’s ghost story is more than just a fancy marketing gimmick but in actuality the product of a diabolical mind.
