The Raven Tower (Fire-Walker) by Emma Miles - Paperback

Her people… or her freedom.

Fire-walkers are rare, so when Kesta inherits the magic of her ancestors, she is eager to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Raised to be a scout, warrior, and leader, Kesta is trusted, loved, and fiercely independent. There is nothing she wouldn’t do to keep her people safe… or so she believes.

Spring brings the ruthless Borrow raiders, their attacks earlier, more ferocious, desperate. When Kesta uses her unique magic to project her soul through flames to learn the cause, it seems her beloved Fulmer Islands are doomed to fall. Necromancers from a vast nation to the north have taken the Borrow Islands, and are using their dead for their army.

Desperate to secure aid for the coming onslaught, Kesta braves a journey to a rival nation to beg assistance from its uncompromising ruler. Their only hope is the powerful sorcerer with a dark reputation who advises and guards the king. Kesta’s devotion is put to the test when, in return for his aid, the king demands a price Kesta fears to pay; a political marriage between herself and the terrifying sorcerer of the Raven Tower.

Kesta must choose between saving her people, and her own freedom.

Can Kesta subdue her fiery nature and tie herself to a man she hates, a man she fears, and stop the evil necromancy that will consume their lands and make them slaves?
