R A Meenan

Black Bound R A Meenan

Matt Azure is a candidate for the Defender Academy and one of only two in his graduating class to already have one of the coveted Lexi Gems - powerful magic jewels that grant their owners long life and special powers. However, the only reason Matt has a Gem before everyone else is because he bound himself to it, making him a rare -- and feared -- Black Bound Gem user. When Matt's Gem finally breaks and gives him a magic specialty, it grants him rare wind manipulation powers... and he critically injures a student by accident. And worse, his best friend and adoptive sister Izzy Gildspine is getting dragged down with him when he discovers his Gem is stealing energy from her. Now Matt must confront impossible odds and control before his magic gets completely out of hand... and drives him or Izzy to an early grave.
