Celestine Princess (The Palladia Series Book 3)

Description

Arielle Excalibur lives in the northern kingdom of Dorilantz. Unlike Palladia and Belaria, which appeared in the first two books, Dorilantz is backward, old-fashioned, locked in the past—and it is a cruel country to live in if you’re EC. While other countries have started to integrate minority EC into mainstream culture and heal a past of conflict, Dorilantz remains viciously divided.

Like all Dorilanter EC, Arielle has always kept close to her small community and tried to avoid the mainstream population. But her equilibrium is shattered the day she looks up from a history book and finds the history has come back to life. Her home is under attack, her friends taken to camps, her village burned to the ground. And it turns out that the sinister hooded man who initiated the whole attack has special plans for Arielle. The past that has never healed runs through her veins. So do the secrets of the EC. And, if she can overcome the anger inside her, so does the future of Dorilantz.
