Heir of StormsHeir of Storms

"When Blaze came into the world she almost drowned it. Though Blaze was born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire, her birth summoned not fire, but rain -- and a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands. Since then, she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared. But when Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials that decide the future rulers of the empire, she's suddenly thrust back into the limelight -- and into battle. Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where old secrets and confusing attractions await with the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court. As Blaze's powers strengthen and her competitors fall, the throne is suddenly within her grasp. But in order to take the crown, she'll have to leave behind the stories that others have told about her, and find the courage to write her own" --
