Magic, romance, and intrigue combine within this extraordinary novel-the initial in the Elemental Trilogy-for fans of Cinda Williams Chima and Kristin Cashore. Web publishers Weekly called it ‘a wonderfully fulfilling magical saga’ inside a starred review, and Kirkus Testimonials stated it ‘bids fair to be another big epic illusion success.’

Iolanthe Seabourne is the foremost elemental mage of her generation-or so she’s been told. The main one prophesied for years to end up being the savior from the Realm. It really is her duty and about The Burning up Sky destiny to handle and beat the Bane, the most effective tyrant and mage the world has ever known. This might be considered a suicide job for anyone, aside from a reluctant sixteen-year-old girl with no training.

Guided by his mother’s visions and focused on avenging his family, Prince Titus has sworn to protect Iolanthe even while he prepares her because of their struggle with the Bane. But he makes the terrifying mistake of dropping deeply in love with the girl who must have been only a way to an end. Today, using the servants of the tyrant shutting in, Titus must select from his mission-and her lifestyle.
