In the land of Quill, your fate is decided at the age of thirteen. Either you are a "Wanted"--an intelligent, strong individual who goes to university to better the land--or an "Unwanted," the artistic type who are seen as unworthy of life. No, really. They send them to their deaths. 
 Aaron is a Wanted, which immediately goes to his head, and his twin brother, Alex, Unwanted. When Alex arrives at the death farm, he learns instead of a secret, magical place called Artime. 
 In Artime, magic reigns, and children are taught how to use their artistic talents. They become obsessed with magical warrior training, where they learn to use their talents in battle. Like, chanting soliloquies as a defense. Or chucking balls of clay at the enemy to make them immobile. Really cool stuff. 
 And because Aaron and Alex are twins, they have a twin-like connection that could potentially cause issues. The adults in Artime know this, and Alex kind of feels it himself, but he's determined to reach out to Aaron--even if the entirety of Quill believes Alex to be dead. 
 The moral is fantastic. In Quill, children are taught to conform, but in Artime they're expected to be themselves. No shame for their talents, learning who they really are. And the true battle begins when the teachings of Quill and Artime clash; which is better in the end? 
 This is the start of a new series, and I'm super excited for the rest of it to come out.
