Eternal Flame

Marissa Brighton

Fire magician Kirra Fuegera escapes captivity only to once again face the Rogue magicians who put her there.


Eighteen-year-old Kirra Fuegera is called the most powerful fire magician to graduate in over a century. Despite being the most talented of her class, she does not like to stand out in the crowd. Ideally, she wants the typical everyday life of a Fuegera: become a full-fledged fire magician, find a job within the confines of typical Fuegera artisanship, and settle down with a hunky man. Her life plan takes a turn for the worst when a band of mind magicians, known as the Rogue Psychas, take Kirra and her friends captive to join their renegade army, and burn the rest.

Freed by a guilty-conscienced Rogue, she is hunted down by the mind magicians, who are driven to extinguish her before she can spread their secrets like wildfire. Kirra finds a common goal with the intelligence officer Gabriel Archer: stop the Rogues from causing any more harm. To accomplish this, Kirra must step from the embers of her former life to face the Rogue Psychas who destroyed everything she once held dear and save her friends before it's too late.

Its easy to appreciate Clint and his team and the way things get done when they have a hit target. This opening chapter was very fun for me and I even smiled a few times in the conversations between Mike and Clint.

The opening chapter promises big things for Hex. The headmaster and Prince certainly provide striking tension. backed with pleasure Marissa view book

Not only does this satisfy my unquenchable thirst for a good kick-arse historical fiction with poised and detailed military aspects, but it also tends to my need for a well thought out and developed fantasy world. I love that you took the past and put a spin on it by bringing in the fairies, who are... view book
