Summary:
Bursts of Fire begins an epic political
fantasy of revenge, addictions, and redemption for three magiel sisters in an
empire where magic has become suspect and where love and loyalty--for one's
lover, one's family, one's country--are tested. If Heaven desires the very
earth be burned, what place can those below hope for, when the flames come for
them?
The Falkyn sisters bear a burden and a
legacy. Their mother, the imperial magiel of the kingdom of Orumon, protects
her people from the horrors of the afterlife by calling upon the Gods with a
precious Prayer Stone. But war among the kingdoms has brought fire and
destruction to their sheltered world. When a mad king's desire to destroy the
Prayer Stones shatters their family, the three girls are scattered to the
wilderness, relying on their wits and powers they don't yet master.
Assassin. Battle tactician. Magic wielder.
Driven by different ambitions, Meg, Janat, and Rennika are destined to become
all these and more. To reclaim their birth right, they must overcome doubtful
loyalties within a rising rebellion; more, they must challenge a dogma-driven
chancellor's influence on the prince raised to inherit his father's war: a
prince struggling to unravel the mystery of his brother's addiction to Heaven.
