The Hungry Fire

Her parents died as heroes. When their murderous enemy returns for revenge, she must learn to handle the truth before she can save her world.

Betharad's devotion to her family's legacy will never fade. The newly elected leader of her town is determined to do her best for her community and orphaned siblings. But their lives quickly plunge into chaos with the return of her parents' nemesis.

As the ruthless sorcerer seeks vengeance and nightmarish creatures threaten her beloved home, Betharad despairs her lack of magical powers to protect her people. When her siblings are taken hostage, she faces shocking secrets from the past that threaten to claim a fatal price.

The Hungry Fire is the gripping first book in the Serpentstone epic fantasy series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone story too.
