The Rise of Rynn - Paperback

At age fifteen, Bryn (Takano), is in his last year at the Master's Academy, in the Leadership Program of a new initiative called the Ruling Order, which aspires to rule the galaxies one day. But in order to become the ruthless leader he is expected to be, Bryn must conquer his emotions and commit to the Masters' Rule of no attachments.

But will an unexpected friendship he forms with a Master's five-year-old granddaughter, little Rue (Rita) create an attachment bond that will keep him from becoming an Dark Master? Or will Bryn be drawn into a forbidden attachment with his bully and nemesis, Randon, who he discovers has a lot more complicated feelings for him, than just hate? Can they succeed in winning the Ruling Order's Elimination Games while struggling to cope with their forbidden feelings for each other, and their search for personal identity?
