The Rise of the Witch — Elle J. Rossi

Elemental witches have been oppressed and controlled for untold millennia by jealous humans who fear the power of their blood. Even those witches who believed in purity were persecuted, as mixed-element babies were killed, tested, and experimented on in a desperate attempt to keep their powers at bay. Laws and regulations have been implemented to keep the Elementals from truly blending, to keep Fire from marrying Water, Air from uniting with Earth, but these laws cannot stop hearts from connecting. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes rules are broken for a greater purpose—to allow a being of power and chaos to be born into this world. I am Ailynn. And I am that being—the first chaos witch. Birthed with the combined power of all five elements, I stand with the resistance against those who would seek to keep us apart. I will not be caged. I will not be silenced. I am here, and I will not be forgotten.
