One, two, three, four; I declare a suit war.

In a parallel universe known as Drac, the four kingdoms (called suits) have been at war for centuries. Each suit (Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, and Hearts) is made up of a playing card hierarchy that is ruled by the King, Queen, and Jack, and every subject is born with their suit and number imprinted on the back of their neck. The number (a rounded-up average of their parents' numbers that is between two and ten) is based off their ancestors' loyalty to the Crown.

There is, however, one randomly selected person in each suit that is born with an A (the symbol of the Ace) on their neck, making them the societal outcast. It is forbidden for the four aces of Drac to ever come together, because there is a myth that if all four of them join hands, they can set off an explosion that will kill all living beings except for themselves. Regardless, the Ace of Hearts, thirteen-year-old Celia Rumer, decides to try her luck in rallying the aces together after the King of Hearts suddenly commits suicide. She hopes that the threat of the four aces banding together will bring an end to the suit war, but will she be able to find the other aces without facing dire consequences of breaking the law?

As many of you can tell, this isn't typically the type of book I usually read, but I must say this book is really good. The author actually contacted me and kindly asked if I could give her book a read. Many Wattpad users don't enjoy others books being advertised in the comments and I am no different. JAYA1014 inboxed me and that is what made me consider reading her story. I enjoy requests, as long as they are inboxed to me, not put in the comments or on my message board.

Back to the point, this book has an original concept and an amazing plot line. The four main characters are all so different but alike at the same time. Something that was refreshing about this story is the romance. There is no romance and it gives a different flow. Hopefully you guys will like the story as much as I did!
