Elemental Manipulation is a tricky business as Cyrus, a girl who can manipulate metal, and Aken the last Scourgeblood, are about to find out, in a world that is determined to either use them or destroy them. Draevensett Academy is their only sanctuary, but only those with courage can become a Draev Guardian... Thirteen-year-old Cyrus Sole is mad at life. She's half-human, with weak wrists, and not a day goes by when someone doesn't say something mean about it-especially her step-mom. But when the forbidden power to manipulate metal awakens inside her, she finds herself on the run as the Argos Corps is sent to kill her... Aken is a Scourgeblood, the last in a line of monsters. But all he really wants is to gain wings and be free. Until a new power suddenly awakens, changing the course of his life... The Draev Guardian Academy is their only sanctuary. But training to become a Draev won't be easy. Cyrus has to hide her human side here, as she gets placed in Floor Harlow with the outcast students, and nightmares of her deceased mother keep returning. With creepy Corpsed monsters on the prowl, and whispers of Cyrus possibly being a reborn Hero, both she and Aken find themselves caught up in a web of secrets, racial tension, and an old legend with enemies that could spell their untimely demise...
