The Last Ember Throne: An Epic Fantasy of Fire, War, and a Broken Oath (The Throne Trilogy, Book 1)

She was hidden for twenty-two years. Now the fire in her blood will either save the kingdom or burn her alive. Kira Emberlyn has spent her life as a village healer, suppressing the strange heat in her hands and the golden mark on her wrist. She doesn't know she's the last surviving heir to the Ember Throne - the dynasty that once ruled the fractured continent of Valdris before a brutal civil war destroyed everything. When a mercenary captain named Ronan Vaile arrives with orders to assassinate her, he makes a split-second choice that changes the fate of the continent. But the usurper regime's spymaster, the cold and calculating Mira Kess, is already closing in, and the village Kira calls home is reduced to ash and bone. Thrust into a war she never wanted, Kira must travel the ancient Cinder Road to unite five rival lords, each with their own agenda and their own price. But the magic she carries - Ember-binding - draws fire from her own life force. Every spell ages her. Every flame costs years she can never recover. And the throne she's fighting to reclaim hides a secret that could shatter her claim to legitimacy forever.
