Description

"Fyrian’s Fire is a thrilling debut. The characters are not only interesting but unique, and the story line is woven with delightful elements of the fantastical. Excited to see more from Emily!”—Lauren H. Brandenburg, Carol Award–winning author of The Death of Mungo Blackwell and The Books of the Gardener series

When Tess commits a grievous error, siege befalls her land—a siege only Tess’s magic can end.

The week of her wedding, Lady Tessamine Canyon is jilted by her betrothed, Prince Linden. Left utterly humiliated, Tess betrays a tightly guarded secret to an enemy spy—a decision that throws the Dione of Glademont into chaos. Hunted by bloodthirsty mercenaries, Tess flees into the Hinge Forest. There, with the help of a wild owl and a two-hundred-year-old bear, Tess begins to unlock the forgotten mysteries of her people.

Deep in the woods, the spirit of a long-dead dryad awaits the next thane of a fierce weapon. To Tess’s amazement, it is she who is called to master the weapon’s power and save Glademont from an impending war.

When a surprising turn of events reunites Tess with Linden—the prince who called off their engagement—Tess must swallow her pride and join forces with him. But even if Tess can rescue her people, will that be enough to forgive her treason? Armed with a fiery magic, Tess is forced to make an impossible choice, one that might seal her fate as the next thane—but forever extinguish any chance at following her heart.

Advance Praise

"What an exciting debut from Emily Jeffries! Fyrian's Fire is the perfect transition for young readers moving on to the young adult genre. The characters are not only interesting but unique, and the storyline woven with delightful elements of the fantastical! Excited to see more from Emily!" - Lauren H. Brandenburg, author of The Death of Mungo Blackwell and The Books of the Gardener series

"I haven't been this delighted with YA fantasy since I don't know when. Not only was FYRIAN'S FIRE refreshingly devoid of any PG-13 material; it was also just plain good. Jeffries' prose is comfortable and warm, much like a certain bear. She gives her characters incredible vibrancy--each has his own unique voice. Lovers of Narnia will sink their teeth into Jeffries' world of talking animals and magic." - Adelaide Thorne, author of the Whitewashed trilogy

"This book is just the sweetest and most adorable book ever ... The story is well written and super engaging. The characters are colorful and memorable, and what I liked even more about it was the message behind the story! It is everything a good clean YA book should be. I highly recommend it! Can't wait to read Emily's future books." - Breny Maurtua, author and Christian book reviewer at Better than Rubies
