Her Fire does more than burn.
When seventeen-year-old Fenya Verena's Fire Legacy awakens too soon, it steals everything she loves-including her home. To contain the blaze within, she agrees to a hasty betrothal and exile to Wigmore Boarding School, a remote island institution that promises to cure dangerous Legacies.
But Wigmore is no sanctuary.
The students are subjects. The masters experiment. And every lesson scorches away another piece of her humanity. Worse, the Headmaster's fascination with her growing power may prove deadlier than the flames themselves.
Trapped on an island that breeds secrets as quickly as it devours them, Fenya must choose between obedience and rebellion, safety and fire. Escape may cost her life-but staying could consume her soul.
A dark fantasy of science and sorcery inspired by the characters and tension of Jane Austen-set in a world of dragons, relics, and perilous magic.
