Before he was Firestorm, he was just a lonely boy with a dangerous secret.
Sixteen-year-old Lavan Chitward never wanted fame or war. But when his family moves to Haven, he’s thrown into a brutal school and tormented until something inside him snaps—awakening a devastating Gift of fire he can barely control.
Saved from destruction by a Herald, a Healer, and a Companion, Lavan begins training to master his magic. As tensions with Karse ignite into full-blown war, he’s thrust to the front lines, his power now a weapon the kingdom desperately needs.
But fire doesn’t care who it burns. And becoming a hero may cost more than his life.
Brightly Burning is a fiery coming-of-age tale set in Valdemar’s war-torn past, full of magic, pain, and legacy.
