   Summary

   May Alexandra, a young girl from Mitras, decides to run away from home after a near death experience that leaves her traumatized.

   As the cadets learn to hone their skills, May discovers that she possesses an ancient ability that has the power to change everything.

   Can she learn to control it before it controls her?

   Or has her fate already been decided?
