Description
Yaron Meek has been confined to the walls of his home city, Toterrum, his entire life. Terror, oppression, and a tiered society drive him and his friends to obey while feeding into Yaron's growing anxiety about himself and his world. On his eighteenth birthday, Yaron notices a mist above his mother's head, launching him into dramatic change and freedom from the walls.
The mist is Aura and Yaron can control it. He soon learns from a Perceptionist named Aurora that there are five Auras-Vigor, Perception, Mentality, Luck, and Empathy. After escaping Toterrum, Yaron travels with Aurora and another friend to Flaunte, Perception's capital, to learn what Aura he can manipulate.
Corrupt history, partner beasts, exotic landscapes, betrayal, budding romance, developing mental health, and war all follow Yaron as he begins his adventure in the world of Biome.
Will Yaron figure out his Aura? Will this newfound power turn into something malicious? Will escaping Toterrum help him escape his inner demons?
Advance Praise
"I really enjoyed this novel. The author has a very pleasing writing style. I just floated along the pages as I was taking in this epic quest of Yaron and his friends."
"Right from the beginning, the author draws you into the world of Biome. He does an excellent job with descriptions and details making you instantly feel immersed into this new world. There are 5 auras that are focused on throughout the book, which definitely gave me Divergent vibes in reference to how people were divided into groups based on their skill set/personality."
"The aura concept was developed in a wonderful way and intrigued me. Overall, the world building was fabulous to me. Character development was phenomenal."
"Some major plot twists and character betrayals will leave you shocked, and unable to put the book down until you’ve finished!"
"I love it when books create realistic, flawed characters that I care about, and that was done very well with Toterrum. The cast, the intrigue, the feelings. All very well done and kept me very interested throughout the whole book. Definitely a strong recommendation!"
