Legend of Silver and Gold - Pawns of Divine, #1

When a group of young elves stumbles upon a legend about Golden heroes of the people that has long been forgotten, it changes their lives and plunges them deep into danger, their destinies are no longer their own as they are given the power to fight a great evil. But the question is where is the evil? The forest is, for the first time in centuries, at peace. Ara'e, the only shapeshifter in the entire Forest thought she was too lucky to finally have friends when she joined the mandatory decade of military education, but little did she know that it wasn't fate that brought them together, but cruel hands of gods who decide to play a disturbing game of chess with the lives of everyone in the Forest.
When Ara'e joined the military she thought it was a way to start fresh. After a life of feeling like an outcast without a single memory of her real family, she is determined to make new friends. She is learning to what lengths she is willing to go to protect those who have her back and to fight for a love that everyone, even the man she loves calls forbidden.
