Book Cover & Preview Text
Jadeleve decided to take advantage of the ever-present sunlight and began to draw energy from it. With the amount of solar energy around her, Jadeleve could soak it up like a sponge and use it as her own power source. She quickly started to regain her senses after her strength was replenished. That’s when she decided that enough was enough. Pure, electrical energy started to swirl around her, manifesting itself in a shield of green light. The supply was vast, and Jadeleve could use it at her disposal however she pleased. She started to feel weightless, as if she was fast enough to outrun lightning. Her vision became so sharp that she could see the slightest rustle of a leaf a mile away. Jadeleve’s golden hair began to flow around her face in synchronization with the gravity defying, green substance that was her visible power. This was her birthright, her life energy, the most powerful essence in the universe. This was the zeal.

About the Book
Led to believe that unlocking its power was their only hope of ending a seemingly endless interplanetary race war, five girls with extraordinary powers accepted a mission to find the Zeal Orb. After two years, they have nearly reached their destination. Suddenly, however, they are ambushed, and twelve-year-old Jadeleve is separated from the group. Due to a hard blow to her head, Jadeleve cannot recall what happened to her or her comrades—or even what her enemy looked like. After waking up alone in the middle of a jungle with no resources, she is forced to use all her skills in order to claw her way back to civilization, find her friends, and uncover their attackers’ true motives. With her physical abilities already tested to their limits, Jadeleve must rely on her mental reserves, not only to combat their elusive enemy, but to overcome an internal struggle. As she grows more doubtful that the Zeal Orb exists, and starts to wonder if her efforts to end the war are futile, Jadeleve has no choice but to consider the following implications: that she was deceived, and worse, that she is powerless.
