About A Shadow Bright and Burning

Henrietta Howel reveals her ability to control fire while saving a friend and is recruited to train as one of the Crown’s sorcerers. Declared the first female sorcerer in centuries and the chosen one destined to defeat the monstrous Ancients, she enters a world of rivalry, romance and hidden agendas. The problem is that Henrietta knows the prophecy is not about her, and exposure could cost everything.
