Publisher Description
‘This is going to be huge' Laura Steven, international bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates
HEIR OF STORMS is an epic romantasy in the style of TWIN CROWNS and early Sarah J. Maas with a touch of THE HUNGER GAMES.
I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world.
And I’m coming for my crown.
When Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it.
Blaze, a Rain Singer, is born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire. Her birth summoned a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands, and she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared.
When Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials which decide the future rulers of the empire, she’s suddenly thrust into the limelight – and into battle.
Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where intrigue and romance await with not one but two handsome suitors: the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court.
As her powers strengthen and her fellow 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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 17-year-old Blaze Harglade was born, she summoned a storm that ravaged the kingdom and marked her as a Rain Singer, one of a rare group of water wielders. She's also an outlier in her family's long line of fire manipulators, which includes her twin brother, Flint. Now, despite her powers being dormant and unable to conjure more than a drizzle, the gods select Blaze to compete in the Choosing Rite, a contest to determine the ruler of each elemental throne. But living at the Golden Palace with her fellow competitors proves even more treacherous than the life she's had thus far as a social pariah. If she wants a shot at the throne and survival, she must balance magical training with vengeful opponents and rival suitors, including handsome crown prince Haldyn Castellion and his mysterious earth-wielding half brother Fox Calloway. While the plucky, self-doubting protagonist; fast-paced twists; and tantalizing undercurrents of romance and danger are standard for the genre, debut author Murray's lush, confident prose distinguishes this impressive series opener. The fully fledged worldbuilding and complex magic system provide an intriguing backdrop against which Blaze's journey toward self-actualization unfolds. The twins have olive skin; the supporting cast is intersectionally diverse. Ages 14–up.
