Blessed

In a world filled with magic where Gods and Goddesses walk amongst the mortals who worship them, a war is brewing-a war between the Divine that started centuries ago. Unable to fight in the Divine Realms, they've enlisted their followers to fight for them. And to certain mortals they've even bestowed their own powers.
These mortals, known as the Blessed, walk a lonely path, balancing the awesome and cruel powers of the Gods and the vulnerability of their human sides. They are immortal unless their God or Goddess sponsor abandons them or they are killed by another Blessed.
One of these Blessed, a veteran from the first war, is gathering other young Blessed to her. Her plan? Create a bond between them all so they can vanquish the God bent on bringing destruction to their world once and for all. Under her tutelage, her students will be the turning point of their world. They start to their destinies struggling with their powers and their place in their world. But will they be the salvation or the destruction? Only time will tell, for they are . . .
The Brethren.
Neilina - a Blessed who once conquered a God, she has lived a solitary existence since the first war ended. Now once again she will face a foe from her past that could be her undoing. But this time, she won't be fighting alone.
Adeline - the only daughter of a warrior king, she is a healer and prophet. But her powers weigh heavy on her and the darkness promises sweet reprieve-will her bond to her Brethren keep her strong?

Aubrey - a young girl with a mysterious past she can't remember. She wants to be a knight in the Holy War, but she'll need to discover her past if she's to help save their future.

Mathilde - the Crown Princess of the nomadic tribes, she's got to right an ancient wrong if she wants to help her people. Her powers of the wild and animals makes her a strong card for whoever earns her loyalty in the coming war.
Niall - the bastard waif of a nobleman of a distant kingdom, he's not who everyone thinks he is. Behind his laughing persona is the power of the cosmos. He's got a lot to prove.
Selene - the exiled Princess, cast away by her magic-fearing father. She's got a lot to prove and isn't afraid of a fight. Her loyalty is unquestionable but she feeds off of her emotions. Her powers are barely in check: she could be the wildfire that burns friend and foe out.
Eibhlin - with humble beginnings, her stunning beauty enchants every man who meets her. But when a young-love romance goes wrong, bitterness rules her heart and only time will tell if she turns to her Brethren for comfort or if she'll cast them aside.
