Fire Study

The apprenticeship is over—now the real test has begun …

When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder—able to capture and release souls—spreads like wildfire, she faces mistrust and fear in Sitia. What’s more, she keeps discovering new, unusual sides of her abilities. As the Council debates Yelena’s fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before…

The road to Ixia is fraught with peril, and sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills. But the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Along the way, she’ll encounter allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty, and be forced to confront an impossible choice as whispers of war emerge.

Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself—and save the lands she holds dear.

About the author

Maria V. Snyder was bored at work and needed a creative outlet, so she started writing stories. Over twenty-two novels and numerous short stories later, Maria’s learned a thing or three about writing. She’s been on the New York Times bestseller list, won a dozen awards, and earned her Masters of Arts degree in Writing from Seton Hill University, where she is now a faculty member for their MFA program.

When she's not writing she's either playing the cello, playing pickleball, travelling, taking pictures or zonked out on the couch due to all of the above. Being a writer, though, is a tonne of fun. Where else can you take fencing lessons, study martial arts, learn how to pick a lock, take glass blowing classes and attend Astronomy Camp and call it all research?
