The beloved and magical Books of Bayern series from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Hale returns with brand new covers.

Enna’s brother, Leifer, has found the secret to an extraordinary power–to make fire without a spark. It’s an ability that could be used for good … if he can control it. But Enna can’t decide if it’s a power she wants for herself, or one that should be extinguished forever. And when their home country of Bayern goes to war, the choice becomes unbearable. Enna never imagined the warm, life-giving energy of fire could destroy anything she loves, but now she must try to save Bayern and herself before fire consumes her entirely.

The second book in master storyteller Shannon Hale’s beloved Books of Bayern series is equal parts fantastical and romantic, with an unforgettable protagonist to root for at its center.
