INCENDIARY

Fifteen-year-old Maesie McKinnon's affinity for fire magic is peculiar enough considering her whole family, including her late father, are water-wielding sorcerers. But then she bonds the ancient dragon Cináed, making her the only sorcerer with a familiar in all the Realms.

A sorcerer’s magic is woven from the fabric of their very being. Her fire magic, Maesie must come to accept, is a product of her true nature.

Yet Maesie can’t find herself within the fledgling sorcerer. Sorcerer Maesie is temperamental, impulsive…dangerous; a stranger, especially to herself.
Or maybe, if she’d dared to look harder, she’d have found these tendencies were always there, simmering beneath the surface.

Embarking upon the life of her dreams at Hinterland Academy for Magic, Maesie finds herself more alone than ever before. She cant help but make enemies, and worse, she cant avoid hurting those she loves.​

When forbidden rune magic offers to illuminate the circumstances of her father’s death,

Maesie pursues the truth, risking the wrath of the quietly tyrannical Sovereign. She is desperate for closure, desperate to prevent her terrible power from driving her to the shadows.

When the truth obliterates Maesie’s world as she knows it, she can only pray to the Goddess that her fire is enough to protect her from what lies in the darkness.​​
