Description

From a stunning new voice in science fantasy comes an action-packed debut of fire magic and ancient prophecy, in which the fate of a futuristic desert kingdom rests in the hands of a princess desperate for power and an assassin with a dark secret. "A CAPTIVATING ADVENTURE." --Peter V. Brett The Ravani kingdom was born of a prophecy, carved from unforgiving desert sands and ruled by the Ravence bloodline: those with the power to command the Eternal Fire. Elena Aadya is the heir to the throne--and the only Ravence who cannot wield her family s legendary magic. As her coronation approaches, she will do whatever it takes to prove herself a worthy successor to her revered father. But she doesn t anticipate the arrival of Yassen Knight, the notorious assassin who now claims fealty to the throne. Elena s father might trust Yassen to be a member of her royal guard, but she is certain he is hiding something. As the threat of war looms like a storm on the horizon, the two begin a dangerous dance of intrigue and betrayal. And the choices they make could burn down the world.

Chakraborty." --Library Journal "A riveting page turner." --Booklist "This exciting fantasy promises good things from the series to come." --Publishers Weekly
