Which
would you choose: stopping a psychopath, or saving an entire city from
starvation? In “Emblems of Power”, a young adult fantasy novel, a talented and
prideful sixteen year old guardsman must make this choice.
Noiknaer,
a city known for its pristine schools of trade and higher learning
suffers from poverty. The hungry and destitute line the streets, begging
for bread, yet the government officials live affluent lifestyles. The
School of the Faye is in charge of planning the secret routes of the
Government Caravans which are the only reasonable source of food for the
people of Noiknaer.
When one of these caravans is ambushed by a
black hooded figure, Kosai, the young guardsman of Noiknaer is nearly
killed. An investigation is started in the School of the Faye to find
who leaked the route information. Kosai learns at this school that he is
the only one who can kill the Hood, a former teacher who almost
destroyed the School of the Faye, and also nearly killed him during the
ambush.
With each passing day, more people die from starvation. Uncertain about who is willing to help him in his learning, Kosai must make the choice, or loose everything.

This is a story about trust
and betrayal, about being torn between two good choices, and learning
that no matter how talented you are, you need help to stand on your own
two feet.
