Raybearer

In the land of Aritsar, each emperor has his own Council of Eleven. As soon as the future ruler finds a trusted circle of people, the powerful power of the Beam connects them with the emperor, providing an opportunity to exchange thoughts, emotions, strengthen each other and together wisely rule the empire.

Just as nothing can separate the Council, so no one can kill the emperor except the Council itself.

Tarisai was born with only one purpose: to enter the Council of the Crown Prince and kill him as soon as he trusts her.

What if the girl finds a true family among the very people she is to betray? Tarisai begins to ask questions. About her mother. About the power that controls her. And about the right to choose - which she was never given.

In a world where the magical Ray binds souls and power feeds on betrayal, Tharisar must decide whether to submit to another's will or master her own—even if it means destroying everything she has come to love.
