NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this companion novel to the award-winning Graceling, a girl with hair the color of flame is needed by the royal family for her magical ability . . . but will using her power turn her into a monster or save a kingdom?
“Thoughtful, steamy and completely original, Fire is YA fantasy at its absolute best.”—Sabaa Tahir, author of New York Times bestselling Ember in the Ashes
“There aren’t enough words to describe how awesome this book is.”—Romantic Times, starred review
It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. The young King Nash clings to his throne while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. The mountains and forests are filled with spies and thieves and lawless men.
This is where Fire lives. With a wild, irresistible appearance and hair the color of flame, Fire is the last remaining human monster. Equally hated and adored, she has the unique ability to control minds, but she guards her power, unwilling to steal the secrets of innocent people. Especially when she has so many of her own.
Then Prince Brigan comes to bring her to King City. The royal family needs her help to uncover the plot against the king. Far away from home, Fire begins to realize there’s more to her power than she ever dreamed. Her power could save the kingdom.
If only she weren’t afraid of becoming the monster her father was.
Look for the rest of the books in the Graceling Realm series: Bitterblue, Winterkeep, and Seasparrow.
A Best Book of the Year: The Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, School Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly
