Title #1: The UnChosen initiates readers into a gripping tale that unfolds across two intriguingly confusing timeframes labeled “Then” and “Now.” In the “Then” episodes, we encounter 13-year-old Aida as she wakes up solitarily in the middle of a colossal crater, a lone survivor in a post-apocalyptic world, devoid of any recollections from her past. She is instantly plunged into a battle she can’t grasp, pursued by soldiers and trapped between two factions of supernaturally gifted beings. The “Now” setting transports us to what appears to be a later phase, where Aida attends an enigmatic boarding school for exceptionally talented children. These pupils are being tutored to control a power known as “The Word,” but Aida struggles to manifest the same abilities as her peers. Her strong-willed and rebellious nature soon places her at odds with both the school’s administration and resident tormentor, Ezra.
