House Ignis - Nicole Erica Green

"Some fires are meant to burn the world down. Others are meant to burn it alive.

Welcome to Lyr’n’dell."

"Five kingdoms. One reluctant heir. One academy where wielders from every kingdom train together. And beyond the Ring... something ancient is waking."

Ava Pyreson has spent her whole life being carefully handled-the grieving heir to the Ignis throne, the girl who lost her brother, the flame too precious to let burn freely.

But when she arrives at Lyr’n’dell Academy, she isn’t just a princess anymore. She’s a target. And the fire she was born to wield? It’s consuming her from the inside out-a volatile, unnamed illness that burns through her core with every use of her power.

The one steadying force at her side is Aether-her obsidian panther boundling, bound to her soul since her powers awakened on her sixteenth birthday. Ancient, sharp-tongued, and entirely unimpressed with almost everyone. But even he can’t protect her from what’s coming.

When an assassination attempt nearly costs Ava her life, the last male she’d ever choose to owe a debt to-Asher Maddox-saves her. A shadow wielder from the kingdom of Umbra, the most dangerous male at the Academy, and the one her father decides to bind to her soul through an ancient, irreversible blood oath. Now Ava can feel him. His rage. His hunger. His secrets.

Caught between a centuries-old betrothal to her childhood sweetheart and a soul-deep bond with a male made of shadows and sin, Ava must survive the brutal Aegos Trials, manage a volatile power that threatens to shatter her body as much as her heart, and unravel the truth behind her brother’s disappearance. But the deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes. And some truths, once found, cannot be survived.
